So im thinking of building a single sided swingarm monoshock moped.
Has anyone ever thought about building one? the only hard part would be the rear wheel. INPUTTTTTTTT
Idea??
Re: Idea??
oh they just had a post up like last month about this. i remember there was an orange one and it looked fuckin sweet.
Re: Idea??
didnt that one just have a mono shock i want to do a single sided swing arm as well but if its the one im thinking of yea that thing is bonkers
Re: Idea??
fa 50 .. or Ryan did one his profile.
and some one else did a pinto can't remember who it was. but neither of them did a single sided swing arm, but fa 50s do have a single sided swing arm it is also the tranny and pretty thick
Re: Idea??
yeah, you can make your swing arm, use an fa50 hub and lace it up to a larger rim.
Re: Idea??
the single sided part is what scares me
ps mike i have your sunglasses that you gave to ryan to hold. and i love them
Idea??
Lots of work that could be spent on better things but that is my opinion. Single sided part is what would take a while. If you do it, don't use FA50 stuff to do it because it will look cheezy and you won't be happy.
Re: Idea??
Don't use an FA50.
Pug, Fox, CVT, 40+stock. I rented one in Bermuda for a week, great noped w/mono-shock single swingarm. Find one of these and use the rear end. The hardest part will be getting an axle strong enough.
Re: Idea??
the axle would be tricky, and you would need to use a wheel that has the brake drum inside the sprocket.
It'd look really cool if you did it right, and be what most scooters already have.
Re: Idea??
i was thinking a modded Aprillia RS50 rear wheel to eliminate the axle issue then just fabbing a one off tubed rear swing arm complete with eye hole for the mono shock....its just a thought for a winter project prob wotn happen but you never know haha.
