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
Cant do pics tonight, left the camera at the workshop fucken doh..
Man I'm jealous!
Where'd you get the English Wheel from?

You're a boof, Rod. You hear me?! A boof.
Sorry Bear Couldn't help myself.... Have you finished the Video yet?
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..
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.
This will probably all make more sense as the build goes on so bear with me, ill post up everything as i go..
Got our delivery of new toys today..cant fucking wait to put this stuff to some use..
Ill post picks of the rest of the shit when we set it up..[
keep up the awesome work
When are ya movin to Shitney with that stuff?
No chance! But you welcome to come and use the facilities any timequote:Originally posted by Bear

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..
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..
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..
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..
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..
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..
This is more exciting than a realy fucking exciting thing.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I'm excited
