Get the beer ready, my welder says he can do it no problem.
Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

That's easy.  You'll find out it doesn't fit, when it doesn't fit.   ;D

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

4. Things you don't know that you do know
Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe

That's not accurate - those would be "discoveries" or "remembering" (1 or 3)

When I've had a welder modify an engine mount on a bike frame for me, I took the motor and frame to him and he used the engine as the jig which is what the others are implying. Soud work fine. Far cheaper then buying a new engine to swap parts around.

I dig your build and can't wait to see the progress.

Thanks!  [thumbsup]

And here is a little update:






The hardest part was holding the blade parallel to the engine cases and (obviously) I f***ed up a bit so I had to sand it down to make it flat. Now there's about 1/8" clearance (total) so I'll make some shims for everything to fit nicely.

Next stop is the garage of a friend of Artful's who will do some cut and paste with the frame. So if everything goes to hell, you know who to blame! [evil] [laugh]

Nice gravel.

Finally time for an update, but first of all thanks where due: Ted - Artful, you're the man! [thumbsup]

So I got the frame and engine back and it's just sweeeeeeeeeeet ;D ;D ;D ;D I started putting things together this morning and here she is (one on the right).


I also got a couple of S2r headers (the bends just off the heads) and the stock horizontal header fits nicely on my vertical head (just out of the way of the rear shock)


Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, I'll take better ones when I have the time .... eventually I'll stop wrenching long enough [laugh] [laugh]

Now back to work: I need to take the swingarm off again so I can measure for the shims and I'll need to make a few for the steering hub as well.

I'm late to the party, but this is coming along nicely.

Looking forward to seeing more develop.

Thanks all!

Here's a few more photos, this is my workshop, I was making spacers for the swingarm.


And the handlebar risers are next


Some white anti-rust primer and the carbs are on as well.


Finally I decided to put the gas tank on, just for kicks. Immediately I thought hmm bobber! [laugh]
