Re: Brat/ Bob

So last night I got everything pretty much tacked together . I also played around with the tank position and set the fender in place to kinda get an idea of what I want to do.

Re: Brat/ Bob

Is this what they call a "konged" frame? Pretty cool, pvc is a good idea, totally gonna gangster that for any future frame mods.

I think thats what it's called . The pvc was alot cheaper in case I screwed up . LOL

I'm thinking just using a steel gusset at the rear part of the frame and taking the originals off the old frame and mounting to that .
 
Re: Brat/ Bob

Was gonna try drilling out the spot welds and lifting the frame section off .It didnt work so I got out the trusty sawzall and went to tow .
 
Re: Brat/ Bob

WOW! That thing is ALREADY freakin awesome. Hurry up I cant wait. lol
 
Re: Brat/ Bob

Thanks I'm working on it a little at a time . Try to get atleast an hour a night on it but I don't want to piss off the neighbors with the noise at 12:30 in the morning . LOl
 
Re: Brat/ Bob

Oh now your talkin my language!!! My whole life i wake up at 3 a.m. ( I hate it) so thats when i work on my projects out in the garage. I fire up the 4 inch grinder, 12" chop saw...etc. My neighbors have to deal. The wife & daughter could sleep through a frieght train. Never bugs them. Unless I open the big door and sit a rev the thing. Checking timing or whatever. But I usually hold off on that sort of stuff till atleast 6 am.
Have you seen "Worlds fastest Indian" its alot like that. LOL. They love me. My entire bike was pretty much Built before 6 am...cause thats when I have to get in the shower to get to work on time.
 
Re: Brat/ Bob

I needed somewhere to bolt the lower part of the rear fender so i took the scrap part of the swingarm I cut up for the extension and added a hoop.

Re: Brat/ Bob

Deja vu! I just saw this the other day........

I'll be following from here on out.
 
Re: Brat/ Bob

Keeping an eye on this one! I can relate to your insomnia, on the weekends when I could sleep in, my eyes pop open and I start thinking "Bike". Make some coffee, check out DTT, and out to the shop I go... sometimes all by 4:00 am.

Did you use "internal sleaves" or "pigs" before you welded the swingarm back up ? :eek:

Re: Brat/ Bob

I osed 2 pieces of a heavier pipe that I slid into the swingarm and the took another swingarm and cut it and used 4in. to make it longer .

These are what I used

Re: Brat/ Bob

Cool by sequence it looked like you justed rejoined the pieces adding the extension in the middle and I was foreseeing the disaster. But if you use an internal sleave for added strength alls cool. :)
 
Re: Brat/ Bob

Ya that would be a disaster but with the little knowlage I have and places like this I can get things dfone the right way. Might add a set of wheels to it .
