Hi Ivan,

Just a quick question, how are you keeping the headstock square while wielding?

Hi Ivan,

Just a quick question, how are you keeping the headstock square while wielding?

Hey Good question I actually had the headstock bolted to the triple clamps and lowered to correct height with the fork tubes attached to the jig,

Also checked it with a level as well lets hope this works aye..... I had quite a few ideas we have now modified the jig again to get a much more accurate holder,

This is now our test frame as theres a few things we dont like with it and we aresetting the jig up even better and going to make some more chassis

Very interesting, making a new frame, thats top Buckiting stuff, much impressed.

[Ivan]

What grade and size of tubing are you using?

[Ivan]

just mild steel 2mm thick cant remember the pipe sizing the back swing arm/ motor mount rails are 40mm tubing

[White trash]

Is that tattoo real?

yeah it is hahahaha

There wasn't actually a cool or good answer to that question, you shouldn't have bothered...............

um. . .so those hoady downpipe bits at the back are part of the jig & will be cut off?. Also doesn't the tank fuel outlet hit the top of the engine? or has that been cut out of the RS tank?

Im not using a RS tank, I am making a mould of it and building a Fibreglass tank cover so it looks right and mounting another 4 litre tank on the bike itself


As for the down pipe bits Im sorry I dont know what you mean?

Well thats your opinion I like it and thats all that counts at the end of the day its on my body and I know I have it there for ever

The long unsupported bits that are touching the ground. I can't picture that you would put the pivot anywhere near the end of them.

[Ivan]

it is no were near finished they are going to be supported and are going to have the swing arm mount of them that whole end needs finishing the top and bottom frame rails still need bracing to each other.

This is copied of going through photos on singlecellracing.com

we still have to build the rear shock mount to, still have to get a decent shock

[F5 Dave]

Ahh, the Tigcraft Aprilia550. It has curved tubes there & appears to use the swingarm pivot into the rear engine case integrated. So essentially you will be cutting off most of those down bits & welding on a pivot point & then welding the curved extensions on underneath.
