Section 60 customs..let the frame building begin..

Its been a while since ive updated anything on here and theres a good reason. Its always been a plan of mine to set up a business building custom motorcycles, more specifically streetfighters and streetfighter frames.
Well after chatting to the illustrious mr Burns one sunday over eggs over easy (if anyone knows what eggs over easy means please tell us we're dying to know).. he commissioned a frame jig for his garage for a project he has and rather nicely let us use his design and drawings to build one of our own so we might follow in the footsteps of international companies like spondon, harris, martek etc.

So we registered the business name Section 60 Customs and started making our frame jig and this is where we are at today..

This is the jig we built for steve, its purpose built for a project he has and yes that top is 25mm carbon steel plate, its bolted onto a frame to suit his bike lift and it weighs just a fraction more than a bus full of concrete.

These are the adjusting plates designed by Steve so we can move the headstock angle up and down one degree at a time, fucking clever really..

We did a bit of this..

Its still got a bit of work to do yet but its a start and the first ~~victim~~ customer is the owner of this beast..

We really need a pipe roller and are in the process of designing and building one so until then the frames will be mocked in light tube then cut into pieces and sent with the molly frame tube to bend tech to match the bends. Then build it again.. its not the most ideal way but it'll do for the time being..

Eggs over easy means that they are flipped over during cooking so that both sides are cooked.

Been a bit busy getting stuff ready and buying new toys. Weve got a delivery of stuff arriving on tuesday including a new electric pipe roller, an english wheel (fucken yeehaaaaaa), a plenishing hammer, a tube notcher and a plate bender..all new..[:p]

Weve also picked up a rolling aprilia rs250 to base the frame geometry on and use the wheels and suspention on the RZ350 build thanks to mike and moz[8D]

I made a frame stand for the prilla and stripped the front and back end off it and will be tearing the rz to bits on monday so Ill start a day by day photo update and put up some pics of the new gear on tuesday. Cant fucken wait!

I might try and sneak some pics up tonight if i can get the camera off tan.. yeh..brb

Bear the English wheel came from Hare and Forbes website here---> https://www.machineryhouse.com.au

They have heaps of cool shit at good prices and deliver anywhere in aus.

Heres a few pics of the aprilia as it was jigged and canibalised..

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1252752334.jpg

This stand is just to keep the frame at ride height when i put it on the fram jig and set up locator braces for the main points, swingarm pivot point, axle and their relation to the headstem.

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1252782622.jpg

This will probably all make more sense as the build goes on so bear with me, ill post up everything as i go..

Right, so over the past week i have stripped the RZ down and started jigging up for thr frame build.

This be the ning ning heart of the beast..
http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1253732023.jpg

I pretty much just got the aprilia frame onto the jig and aligned it to be level on 3 axis and set the headstock to the right angle tacking everything in place as i went..

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1253715953.jpg

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1253744830.jpg

Then i made up jigs to take up the points i need to copy the geometry of the aprilia frame starting with the rear axle..

Next was the swingarm pivot point which i did using the swingarm bolt to hold the geometry points in place as i jigged them up..

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1253718130.jpg

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1253728314.jpg

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1253684739.jpg

Having done that i could remove the rest of the frame leaving the geometry locators (excuse the fancy wurdz) sticking out like bad art..

No bike build would be complete without the use of an old bucket, some tiedowns and beer..

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1253773131.jpg

I suspended the motor from some tiedowns and a temporary skyhook while i bolted the engine frame sand from the bobber build to the bottom of the motor..

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1253725965.jpg

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1253724683.jpg

Then i aligned the motor on all 3 axis with the headstock, swingarm point, output shaft and rear axle and tacked the dodgy frame in place.

This is probably not the best way to do any of this but its the best i could come up with working alone and im learning as i go so expect major fuckups..
