That's really nice bending work.

Many Thanks !!!!!!

So now we have welded the whole rear frame cleanly

and welded in a middle support for the MOKO rear.

So far so good. The next one will be relocating the footpegs with new brackets.

 

[Bandit1052]

As I said, this time it continues with the inclusion of the footrest system. These should move 2 cm higher. First, measure the original completely and make a sketch from it.

 

[Bandit1052]

Then quickly on the milling machine and re-milled the contour.

A pair of course!!!!!!

 

[Bandit1052]

First cut off both brackets

Then enlarge the frame positions for inserting the brackets.

Adjust and review

The whole thing is first fixed with screws. First I have to see if the new swing arm has enough space.

and here again the comparison before and after

so now the engine (the old one) and the new swing arm have to be reinstalled to adjust the chain alignment

 

[Bandit1052]

Thank God there is enough space!

The 5.5 inch rim will have to give way to a 6 inch rim.

But the chain escape looks very nice!

Years ago I discovered this young man with his remodeling on the web.

In my opinion, this is the perfect swingarm for the Bandit. Perhaps the builder is even represented here in the forum.

For me, it wasn't about widening the frame or installing this beautiful swingarm when he converted it. What I liked from the start was the modification of the frame on the footrests.

Absolutely remarkable. I wanted that too !!
That gives the frame a much nicer shape and it all looks like a round tube.

And since I've just installed the swing arm and the motor, the frame is well fixed in place.

 

[Bandit1052]

First of all, I milled the basic shape of the frame at this point twice. It should then be very stable again. Weight does not matter here!

i like the pocketed out frame

 

[Bandit1052]

Me too !!

 

[Bandit1052]

So let's go !!!!!

First off with the old paint!

Then open the first side of the frame.


As you can see inside the bracket for the engine and shock absorber can be seen there.

This bracket should stay as it is.

Now roughly cut open the back side !!

The 2 lines (one at the top left and one at the bottom right) indicate the slight kink in the frame. This made it impossible for me to use the milled frame in one piece.

So I divided the milled frames into 4 pieces each.

And now the whole thing is being welded by my professional welder at work.

So motor and swing arm out again and off to weld on the straightening bench.

 

[Bandit1052]

As I said, everything is welded. Footrests and milled insert.

And now comes the biggest shit job !!

GRINDING !!!!!!

So back in the garage and again install the engine and swing arm.

I imagined it exactly like that. Beautiful. Damn awesome !!!!!!

that is pretty cool man

Thank you man !! I also like your tags, they have something !!

Incidentally, the storage of the GSXR 1000 K1 swing arm was rebuilt so that the mounting of the Bandit swing arm axis fits.

The swingarm had to be narrowed approx. 3mm on each side so that it fits into the frame.

 

[Bandit1052]

Somehow the original storage sucks. I don't like it, it has too much play. There has to be another solution!

 

[Bandit1052]

Will start to change the rear of MOKO a little so that it fits the new rear frame.

I had already changed the rear 6 years ago to swap the big ugly taillight for an LED taillight.

This is what it looks like at the moment. I do not like it.

The MOKO rear must run flush with the frame strut. About as.

First fill it up with construction foam and then carve it into shape.

Before doing this, try to see if I can make a corner out of fiberglass. And yes I can.

The old taillight torn out. Was broken anyway.

What crap I put together back then. With aluminum grille. Oh my God. You can do that without. You never stop learning and you always learn something new when laminating.

 

[Bandit1052]

So it looks a bit better from the form.

The recess for the rear light is completely closed. The new indicators from Kellermann have everything you need. Tail light, brake light and turn signals.

Finally I scrape out the foam again.

The rough shape would be ready.

Fits quite well. Now the fine work begins !!!!!

Small by-product. Drinking cup to toast the new year 2021 !!!!

And with that I wish everyone a happy new year 2021. See you next year. Please drink slowly !!!!!!!!!
