It is obvious that you have been to tube bending school . That frame looks just Bad asss , the rear section has a really trick look going for it . I will be watching this one for sure .
Also your skills are just top notch. What part of Kentucky are you in ? Anywhere close to east Tn ? May need to come see you for fab lessons .

This is what I woke up to this morning....ugh ! :blink:




Not to bad yet...probably 8 or 9 inches, with more to come...hopefully not much.




So I headed to the shop to work on this build, I got the frame squared up and measured out...plus welded together.

Also cut the head tube and welded in with 25 degrees of rake .

Engine mount plate cut and installed also, and made a seat bracket.

Getting this far today was great, I think this is the hardest part of all of the build...getting it squared up and welded together.

Triple trees from the OldMiniBikes warehouse came in today, so I did a quick mock up of the forks. This gives me a chance to measure for axle bolts.





Also was able to get the rear axle tubes crimped and drilled. . Not sure yet ..I still might move the rear wheel forward some .

Good to see you on fillup, and you come up anytime you want. As for me, I'm no top notch builder...just a old guy reliving his youth. :wink:
