Here you go... Didn't like the mount I was working on so I decided to go a different direction and had these pieces cut out at my local water jet shop. Guy says, do you have CAD file, I said.. sure do.. and handed him my 8.5x11 drawing, lol

Parts came out nice, and was done same day. I have a few other things I will be getting done for this project as well.

I will be adding two upper support as well from the center to the upper corners of the frame. Should be done this week with that.

Here she is, rolling on her own now. First time out of the garage. I still have the rear end set as high as possible and will be lowering it with lowering lings. I just wanted to make sure I had the flexibility to raise or lower as desired.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. Its coming along nicely. Won't be long and I will be putting it back together permanently!!

camaroguy, Im not completely happy with the sets at this point. The pedal definitely needs to go down some. I will probably bend it down a bit, or I may make some plates that allow me to set it back and turn it down some. We shall see...

The roller looks good!

Let me offer you some advice on the rear sets. Looks like you have the same ones that I'm using. First off, don't decide on final position before you get the motor back in the frame and can figure out your shift linkage. It's gonna be tight between the shifter and the kickstand. Make sure to check it with the kickstand up and down. Also, the brake side may or may not have interference with the exhaust. Finally, you can adjust the brake pedal height a certain amount by moving that yoke on the master cylinder. It should be able to screw in or out a little and then you tighten that nut down on top of the yoke to lock it in place. I had to make up some adapter plates to position my rearsets where I needed them to be.

Thanks Test, that's kinda what I was thinking. It will be one of the last things I do to get the right fitment. I appreciate the advice!

Im working on some custom risers this week that you guys will like. Should be nice and adjustable if things work out like they should.. lol

I hope to have the frame fabrication all done within the next week or two, so that I can get it blasted and start putting it back together. Motor will be done fairly soon, so I need to get ready!
