If you put an eccentric inside an eccentric you can put the axle wherever you want.Eccentric chain adjusters?
Or you could just arsehole the chain altogether.

How big do you have to make it? & clamp it. But my point was more it doesn't seem authentic as a replica, unless I'm wrong.

if you are meaning the Rotax double uglyBuell (you have one i guess) the Aprilia chassis have been like that since about 92. Carpental Alloy (aircraft Froggy i think)

Don't have to be that big, but big is good up to a point, there's less load at a greater radius from the axle centreline. What's it a replica of? Go back far enough and a flat belt would be right.

No, sold the 1125. Which I might say was an excellent machine, (stunning engine) and from a purely engineering perspective they're as pretty as their performance makes 'em.
All of the XB Buells had similar frames, the headstock rigidity is one of the first things you notice. I think the general concept is good for most engines, especially for track use, although some may be better with full or partial spaceframes.

I was half kidding i must say they do look better in the flesh than in the pictures.
Dave the front brake is wrong to.
the Rickmam frame i have has an eccentric swingarm pivot it works like the snail cams on a 80's XR honda.
I like them.

Chain tensioning via an adjustable pivot is good if done right - and by that i mean the pivot point must move in a straight line. I dont like the type which rotates the pivot as it varies the pivot height too. No point in going to a lot of trouble sorting out height then moving it round regardless...
AFAIK the first was done by Colin Lyster then the Rickmans picked it up followed by Ducati et al. Colin's version was as usual for him very simple, not to say a tad agricultural...square plates with an offset hole.

Looks like Rickman used a couple of methods (just noticed someone has made the Zundapp reed)

Spline come space, Egli or Egli inspired. The pic code says Egli

Mm, forks are Egli - but messy, very messy...why have the spine at all, it's not adding a lot to the frame layout...
