"FREE" PMC frame brace templates!!!!! was created by K.D. HART
Shaun, a fellow Kawasaki enthusiast in France sent me a set of PMC frame brace templates yesterday by airmail. Not sure how long they will take to arrive in the U.S., but they are on the way here!
Shaun only asked on thing in return for the free templates. He asked me to share them with others. As soon as they arrive I'll scan and post them.
This way anyone who wants them can print out a set.

Leon has had plenty of experience,but others may be surprised just how much work is actually involved in making frame gussets even with templates to copy from! :woohoo:

As soon as the templates arrive from France, I'll scan them them and post it on this thread.
The scan will be scale size, so all you have to do is cut them out.
Most of the mail I receive from overseas usually arives within two weeks.

Lol! I should have known that Leon made frame braces. He's very talented.
I could look over what you guy's have done over the years and copy it, but the templates will make it more simple for me.
It's too damn cold in my garage to be trying to make paper template patterns this time of year.

i have one full set cut out.

every time i need to make a set i duplicate the set and test fit them.

i want to build a full set for myself to use,but it is enough of a time consuming process that i haven't got me a using set yet done yet.

i have thought of welding my masters in and forcing me to make another set when someone wants one.

but i don't have much time to work on my own stuff much and i have other projects in front of that soo :whistle: .

everytime i build a set for someone i make another spare piece to help get me that set to use :lol: .
i'll get there :evil: .

thanks for the kind words k.d.hart

The biggest thing to remember is you need to make sure your frame is straight,or get it straight before bracing it.
Its a lot tougher to straighten things after bracing them crooked! :sick: :laugh:
