The frame is now ready for a trip to the powder coaters. A few mods that have been done are as follows;
1. the head angle has been steepened by 3 degrees - you can see that a piece has been welded into the top tube - this was done by cutting the top tube, heating the lower tubes and jacking the frame until it was at the correct head angle then re-welding a piece into the gap on the top tube.
2. all the protective bash plates under the engine cases have been removed to allow for a single ally bash plate to be fitted.
3. a change of plan on the cut frame loop in the centre of the frame has resulted in a plate being made to bridge the space between the new loop at the rear of the engine and the top tube. this has been shaped to allow an air filter to fit directly behind the carb - you can see the plate in place on the photo.
4. the seat mountings have been re-welded in place
5. a new rear frame loop has been added with mudguard mounting points attached
6. Gear pedal mounting bracket ha sben added to run the brake directly from the hub down the left side of the bike
On the swinging arm the sidestand mounting plate has been welded direct to the arm rather than being bolted on as previously
