Make the swingarm pivot points as wide apart as possible- the stock Spiderbox tapered them in I guess to meet the strongest points on the frame, The swingarm I made is a full 24" wide at the pivot and I think it added stability and I haven't seen the same wear on them.The longer the swing arm and the farther the rear axle sets-adds to comfort- a couple of inches is huge!!! I second the static load leveling!!I've screwed that up twice!!!!
So when do we get to see your project?
