Backtrack

I never keep up to date on here and even worse i suck at taking pictures of my work, but ive been doing better with the pictures so i share a few i took along the way up to this point,
the bike was ridden with the previous subframe but it wasnt enough for me so i thought of some ideas for something ive never seen and got to work.




Above is the bike with the modified, stock subframe and rearset mounts i made and welded on a few months back.


Chopped off, trash, done.

Next i had to grind all the old weld and crap off the frame and get ready for the new.. whatever you wanna call it lol

I made caps to weld in where the tubes used to meet the frame





And more cutting and grinding

I dont have any pictures of the pieces that made the final cut but i have a few pictures of the bad ones of course.
First mocked up with the paper temps.



Tacked on ready to burn

Forks and swingarm went on and the bike was set at the ride height i wanted. I took this time to make a seat pan and i was also able see where my shock mount would be and i made that up and welded everything

Here is the bike as of tonight, got too late but it does have spark. Back to it in the morning

Have you tried putting a drive chain on it yet? Ed

I rode the bike with the old setup.
The bike is ready for a test ride now, ill keep up on the post later when i get back in the garage

Well it seems Its time for this engine to see the workbench yet again.
A few days ago I got the bike wired up and ready to start but I found a bad coil and my regulator rectifier from the beginning of time decided it didnt like having wires attached to it anymore and they all finally broke off so I ordered a new one.
Today I put the new parts on and wired up a battery,
Now heres where things suck. I have spark on all 4 but I'm only running on 3. I'm noticing an oil leak from the topend of the engine but it could be my tach bc i dont have the cable in or it's something worse, I didnt look to close as I was more concerned with the oil in the cylinder (#2). I'm not sure where it's getting In and i wont be sure until I get the engine apart. So I'll be in the shop getting to work for the next few days on this and I'll be back with answers hopefully soon
