Next I moved on to the tail cowl. It has to house the battery, which is large due to keeping the electric start. For this I chose to make a wire form buck. Not a great pic of t, but you get the idea. Next more aluminum was shaped.

I am in awe of the work you and some others are doing. Sometimes I’m surprised you all allow me to be here at all.

With the original mounts there was zero load on the SA pivots (next to zero anyway)
The shock loads were countered by the lower subframe mounts and they look to have a load of about 1.25x the shock load.
irk miller said:Have you ever ridden an airhead? They didn't earn their rubber cow moniker for nothing. LOL . Between the orientation of the motor/crank rotation and the featherbed-like design of the frame, they are extremely sloppy in turns. It's a very soft, noticeably rubbery effect.
