I would just buy a weld on or bolt on hardtail designed for your bike. They are usually less than 100 bucks if you look in the right place.
Yep. Those dirt cheap hardtail sections are waaaaay overpriced, trust me on this...think it will loook nicer than the cheaper hardtail sections you can buy too.
Yes, please!Mine is still sitting in the pile if you want me to dig it out for pics or measurements.
Many thanks! That´s exactly what I want to do:this has been done a bunch. i cant get the pics to load but check it out here

Ditto!! I prefer to take the plunge to buy the softail plates and ship them all the way to my home in Brazil than to do the same for a cheap hardtail section. Tube stock, bending and welding is easily available here.Yep. Those dirt cheap hardtail sections are waaaaay overpriced, trust me on this...
Let me know what you'd like pics and measurements of and I'll be more than happy to get them for you...but please be specific.Yes, please!

Tudo bem, e você?tudo bom? onde no brasil e voce?
i was married to a brasilian girl, spent many months in sao paulo, recife, forteleza & my favorite place on earth: jericoacoara
i've used softail axle plates on a build before... and i agree with what's been said above: they look much better than flat steel plates.
Thanks for the tips!!Lucio,
The U.S. Postal Service has made International shipping really easy. The packages that I routinely ship weigh 2 pounds and generally cost $18 - $25 US to Europe or Australia via First Class International Parcel.
If the seller prints his shipping labels through eBay he can electronically add in the customs information really easily and print that out right with the label.
You may already know all that, but if not, maybe it will help you to convince someone to send you what you need. Best of luck.
I already contacted a few sellers with swingarms in the US$25,00 price range. Let´s see if at least one knows how to use the Sawzall. If not, I will take your offer with great gusto. Thanks!!!Hey, if you find one you want, and they won't ship, I'll buy it and ship it to you.
Sorry - somehow I missed this. I'll get you the dimensions tonight.Pete,
I need to know is tube external diameter. I´m guessing 2mm for wall tickness.
Cheers,
Lucio
