Still collecting a few bits for my Steamer project.

Was wondering if anyone has looked into or actually fitted a single sided swingarm onto a Steamer?

I`m sure i`ve seen one, maybe on a German site?

Got this idea for my new rebuild.
I`ve been told all the Triumph single arms are way too wide, and will take a lot of machining to fit.
The Honda VFR is the way to go.
Now to find one and take some measurements................

If you get a VFR one, will it tie you to using a VFR rear wheel, rear brake etc etc?
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Nick Calne

PS go for it, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!

Was hoping a Triumph arm would fit my needs, but it seems that the Honda arm will be easier to fit.
I want matching front/rear wheels so will have to look into that.
Its just an idea at the moment, so who knows?  :lol:
