You know that there is not sleek bike without building it from a great frame. What about the swingarm which I consider an inherent part of the frame? Ever tempted, but afraid, by the idea to use a single-sided swingarm? Well, this post to give you a great source to install one either on any stock B-Motor Harley-Davidson or of course any radical custom built. For custom use, the single-sided swingarm incorporates the oil tank directly in the arm, oil filter and cap included. I told you. Very sleek and not so difficult to install, especially with the advice of the experts at Rolling Thunder Call Sam or Spencer on by behalf at: 450-699-7045 or visit Rolling Thunder Frames.
Single-Sided Swingarm. Oil Tank Incorporated.

I’ve only used a single-side swingarm once, about 3 years ago, and it was from R.C. Components. While it did function properly and the customer was satisfied, I just wasn’t crazy about the way it looked on a softail frame, so I never used another one. Just couldn’t knock the “mis-matched” look off it.
This one looks like a much more viable option, especially if a better suited frame were used, instead of the typical softail frame. I am tempted to give this a try. Cyril, thanks for the info.
S W E E T ! PEACE
Nothing new here! Jeff Nicklus build a single swing arm bike with the oil tank within it for a bike in Canada, don’t remember the name of the bike. Aaron Greene build a single swing arm bike with the oil in it for the Hard Rock Cafe. etc. The differance now is it is available to the public.
That would be “built” not “build”. Damn fingers don’t work on a Friday afternoon!
Of course it’s not a new idea, GAR… this one just happens to look OK.
It does look good. I am interested to know what the oil capacity is.
