      I have built several swing arms, all from chrome moly. If you use less than .125" wall, you really don't need to heat treat, according to my carbon equivilency calculations. However, it doesn't hurt either, if you powder coat, you actually do exactly the recommended heat treatment for that wall thickness.

      On my Z1 swinger, I made it look as stock as possible, with only some bracing giving it away- but it was over 10 pounds lighter than stock when I was finished!

      I water-jet cut my own axle plates, made to mimic the stock axle plates, so I could use all stock adjuster hardware.

      I will try to get a pic sometime, I don't have one on my computer

            I highly doubt I will be selling anything like this. I can't trust my self with something this important on other peoples bikes.

            Thanks though
