The Triumph SSSA is not like a normal swingarm. That is, it is a hollow cast unit rather than machined/welded tubular stock. To make matters more difficult, the casting is asymmetrical, and the solid area of the swingarm where the bearing is seated is up against the hollow cast section, making it impossible to sink the bearing deeper into the arm. All that, and I don't have the machines to do something like that
is there a reason ...other than you dont have access....that you wouldnt just machine the swingarm to fit the stock frame dimension?
just curious....I think what you have done is awesome!....but I think my first instict would be to narrow the arm

And you're welcome, irish Grasshopper
Its funny you should mention that Larry. I have been wondering about the side cover fitment myself. But with 2 missing mounting points on the right and one on the left AND a missing left side cover, I can only kinda check the right side. At the very least I am going to have to fab 3 mounts. I think for every problem I solve I create 2 more!Ahhhhhh.... I get it now

Alright gentleman, I brought 3 beauties home today! The first two were my wife and baby girl. The third was in the trunk, my new (to me) rear wheel

So lets get this straight, you bring home a new baby, and the only picture you can post is a durn tire.
I guess that you don't want the photochop crew to have their way with your family photos. I don't blame you there.
Nice looking roller there.
