I got the back bone cut to fit the neck. I decided on 38 degrees of rake as the trail was better at 38 than at 40. I stretched the frame 4 inches and it is about 4 or 5 inches lower.
Here I have the bike centered and locked down to the table. I set up the laser to create a plane so the center of the neck, back bone and rear axle could all be found a centered.
Look in front of the brush handle at the end of the table you can see the laser on the table and on top of the center line of the table.
Here are all of the pieces cut, drilled, bent, massaged, tweaked, fish mouthed and a bunch of other things that took me forever to complete. Oh, it's almost time to weld!
Everything is tacked in place and ready for final welding.
Here is my friend Dusty TIG welding the frame. I decided to have him TIG weld it rather than me MIG weld the frame. He is a much better welder than I am so it will be piece of mine when I am speeding down the track!
Here is the frame back at my house all welded up and ready for some more modifications.
I will be adding some gussets to strengthen the neck as well as a motor mount and steering stops.
