bluedog59 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 According to all the builders reports in magazine articles, they all handle brilliantly no matter what fork/swingarm/engine combo they have. Make of that what you will. 1 Quote
MeanBean49 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 No need to brace anything swingarm mount wise. Actually stronger than a bandit. They do handle and ride nice too. I would quite happily ride mine on a track day. Quote

I put bracing in around headstock but more for somewhere to mount coils than strength. Nothing wrong with swingarm mounts. They arent going yo move, strength is there is across the frane through swingarm. Old thread alert, that blue and white Savage is awesome anymore details on it, have you all used Oilboilers in them Quote

Want to build another I got a message from a mate before, he has been offered a frame, got me thinking where the spare GS1000 motor is gonna go in the future.

Pheasantplucker Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Well done, just organising the collection of a big air cooled four! Wrong badge on the tank but how could I refuse, it would be rude! Quote
Kamikaze Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Yep. Great project frames they are. Still got mine sitting in the shed after I bought it 4 yrs ago. It’s one of those projects to work on when u have nothing to do. Plus I still need to pilfer all the parts off the other slingy’s I have to make it a roller. 4 Quote

Personally I think they look awfull structurally. I know they aren't expensive and people have built some good looking bikes based on them, which function adequately. But they wouldn't be on my list to base a build around. Quote

If I was building a propper race bike I wouldnt want to use one without a fair bit of bracing. But for what they are, and how they are mainly used they are great, did a track day on mine and it worked well enough in much the same way a bandit does. 1 Quote
