Shredder 2 build

[The_dutchLoard_nydam]

Ok so I am building the shredder 2 , i am going with a Honda cbr 600 of a motorcycle
Just wondering if I should use the planes for the back set up , I am worried that if I use the planes and the hardware I will just rip it all up with all the rpms I am going to be putting through it.

Check this build he did what you want to do with his jackshaft setup.

Hi Texan77 or any other Shredder builders.

Do you mind sharing what size and how thick the square tubing is on your Shredder rear trailing arms?
It appears to be 2"x2".
I am not building a Shredder but building similar trailing arms and would like to know what tubing size is holding up.
How much are the Shredders weighing with 13HP Predators?
Thanks
Herman

Yep they are 2"X 2"

Hi lug-Nuts
Do you recall the wall thickness on that 2x2" square tubing for the trailing arms?
That tubing comes in wall thickness from .095 to .250

[Lug-Nuts]

The plans call for 2" X 1/8" square tube for the trailing arms. You can use whichever thickness you like, or can get.

Thanks for the info and photo.
I try to build as light as possible so wanted to know what thickness is working.
The angle welded to the bottom of the trailing arm should help prevent twisting

Oh and the buggy with no motor weighs around 500#'s
