Horror Movie Right There On My TV!
Lads, brief update..
I started throwing a bit of tube around the motor last week to get a feel for the bends and angles ill use and the gusseting required to give it strenth.
I really couldnt be arsed bending pipes perfectly as this is just a dummy frame so i used prefabbed bends and rolled a bit of pipe.
This is as far as i got before the weekend and havent progressed since due to a cunt of an ear infection but im hoping to get back into it tomorrow and finish the frame and the under over bracing on the swinga..
It looks pretty agricultural so squint and try an imagine something not this crap as the final product.

Probably wouldn't use this as an advertising slogan if you go into full production mate.
Haha my thoughts exactly.
This is a dummy frame, to clarify, it is just to get a feel for what the final frame will be. By this i mean i may get so far into it and hate the shape or not like the seat position or whatever so vesting long hours into perfect bends just to find they dont fit and waste a heap of pipe is not on my agenda. I will probaly make several of these for every bike i build so that i can get input from blokes like steve as to what im doing wrong before i build something for the road and send someone out on it. The reason i couldnt be arsed bending a heap of tubes was its actually easier using prefabs to get the right angles so when i build the final frame i can send the right dimensions to bendtech. Perhaps read this thread from the beginning or if your not sure what im talking about or pm me and ill explain it in detail.Quote:

From the brief moment i had with sweary bob last year and stories that steve has told me is that bob used to bend tubes around his knee, never used a "frame jig" and told anyone who didnt like it to fuck off..
AWESOME Tom, you're this close! |----| So much potential mate.
Looking forward to getting a look at all this stuff in a coupla weeks Tom !
Looks like you're really gettin set up there.
Ah!!!! thats whats called a tradesman! Somebody who dosn't have to have the latest Tool to make it work, good work Tom !!Quote:

No he wasn't [:0] after careful reading over this whole forum I have discovered that Jacktar is apparently held responsible for a large number of misfortunes by many members of this site [V] I gather that he is a troublemaker by nature [B)]. So don't you pay him any attention Tom, just get on with building this thing!
How about a large tube ally frame to suit an oil cooled gsxr next[?][:p][8D]
Haha, fark, i think i had a few beers that night, my bad mate
But not well cooked (hens the easy bit.)Quote:

but the hens DON'T think it's easy, have you heard 'em yell when they drop an egg??
Lads, quick update, i chucked a bit more pipe at it and the lines are starting to come together although i completely misjudged the height of the subframe so it looks like a drag bike at the mo[:o)].
Ill chop it and rework it tomorrow and post the results..
