2 Strokes Down Under

Looking good mate,I take it you dont have kids

Nope No Kids
Well me and the girl have a fur child a border collie called rusty
And mike i would love to see some pics of the RGV build
I spent the weekend making and grinding the Subframe mounts
and started making the lower and top shock mounts ,,, should have it tacked up saterday i recon ..

Sorry mate not doing a rgv build

Making Subframe brakets OH SO FUN lol
well at least this subframe will be up and on the bike buy saterday
than i can start on the shock mounts
than the brace the frame
Here is the top one
ill get a pic once its offered up i have made it this big so i can fill the void between the tank and frame cleans up the look alot

Today i welded in all the mounts i made to fit the R6 Subframe to the RZ frame so steep 1 is almost complete Still have to do alot of grinding (LOL ther ugly but have good penatration) and such but i can now move forward to the new shock mounts and frame bracing
here it is

Love your work.

Will be watching this thread with interest.


Bob.

well here is the bottom shock mount
Using the jig i made to place the linkage pivot point in Original RGV placing
so the bottom pivoit point is the same distance below and behind the swing arm spindal as it is in the RGV




now just to tack the bottom so i can start on the top mount
wont be long till i have a roller

Could you please take pics of two things for me.

The rear of where the tank and seat meet with the seat off.
If you have got one with the RZ rear tank mount when it was still there. How does the rear of the new tank mount???



And a shot from down low looking up at where the tank and frame meet. Just wondering how much the tank pokes out past the frame.


Cheers, Bob.

well tacked in the bottom mount
made some needed spacers
starting work on the top mount this weekend
also cut off what was left of the center stand mount as it was ginning in the way of my sexy MotoGP style side exit LOL
