because the frame needs to be off set on the xv the spacers needed to be of diffrent thickness used 50mm aluminum bar and cut each spacer to length

well Bandit as you will know the origanal swingarm would have fitted on the inside of the pivot points of the frame and would pivot on two threaded bolts that screwed in to two thread points on the frame,i do my swingarms so they pivot on the outside of the frame, once the original swingarm and pivot bolts are removed i make a threaded bush that then screws in to the each pivot points on the frame the center of the bush is drilled out to 16mm to take the bolts that will hold the newswingarm at the pivot point the new swingarm then has a threaded insert welded in two each of the main rails of the swingarm the rose joints then in turn screw in to the insert in the main rails the 16mnm bolt then goes though the rose joint though the spacer and threaded bush that was screwed into the pivot points on the frame then a nut is put on the bolts on the inside of the frame then tightned up  Smiley

OAB, shaft drive bikes have a stud each side to screw into the swing arm rather than a through bolt you can get in chain drive bikes (or could back in the day I had solo bikes). Is that what you meant?

Excellent work Zac, you are the inspiration behind what we are going to do for a trike for son in law Wink
