Re: CB200 '73 tracker project
I dig the tubular rear frame mod. I'm doing something similar to the "Dad and Daughter" Honda 175 twin I've been working on for ages. In my case, it started as repairs to broken lower frame tubes (where the swingarm plate bolted to my frame) but I ended up tossing the whole rear frame, too.
I'm using one of our Viper Dirt track seats, which is very narrow at the front, so my top frame rails fit inside the existing frame at the front and are a bit wider than yours at the back. I was able to find a prebent rear frame loop that fit almost perfectly. Have to get busy, finish up my alignment jig and tack and weld everything together. In my case, I did the tubing repairs following standard aircraft repair manual specs we use here in Canada, but I gather you made internal tubes or plugs so the new tubes all fit together and gave extra strength at the welds?
What seat are you using?
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
