Basically this was a function of the super long swingarm? I always wondered about that.
Yeah, my take was that you have two parallel long tubes supporting basically everything between the wheel and main frame. I think it could be fixed by triangulating the swingarm and connecting the lower part to the mainframe with the shock linkage, or by dramatically shortening the swingarm.

Basically this


I've seen a few with cracks on the swingarm or that are completely toast.

Funny that you show a Sunn as an example. They were also known for cracking swingarms.
Maybe steel isn't real in this application and you need an aluminum swingarm?

Agree. I know a bike shop in Germany that had two of these on the wall in their show room. Personal bikes of the owner that he raced on. That is why I could not talk him out of one. He gave me a key chain with the Sunn mascot (this little blue dude) instead. Haven't been there for a while, might have to swing by to see if he still has them. According to him they were actually quite a lot of maintenance.

Hey, it’s me, Terry, tmx. I don’t remember any of my original account login info, thus this new account.

A.) Yikes!! I was quite the wildly defensive c-word in some of these old posts. Damn. Embarrassing. ...While it’s certainly no “good” reason, all I can say for myself is that hurt people hurt people. It’s probably worse when one doesn’t even realize the hurt inside oneself.

I am truly sorry, one and all.

B.) I’m selling my TMX and the Silencer.

Hey Sammich. Thanks for trying to help me through the Old Post Walk of Shame.

Thank you also for offering access to my old account. Unless you think it’s necessary for reasons I might be overlooking, I’ll stick with the Redux.

Feel free to DM offers here or text me. Same 212#.
