FINALLY!!! Got the motor mounts & shock mount fitted. Being that this frame was probably a1/2" out of square to start with and every time I tried straightening something it would through the other end of even further, it's fitted. It had been a nightmare. I know I've gotten a few dozen more gray hairs from this, but the experience & knowledge I've gained is invaluable.   |

All in all it came out quite a bit lower to the ground than expected, but it runs straight & doing a tilt test every thing clears. Now for the tedious part of finish the welding placing all the components and re-rigging. I'm way past the time I thought it would take but that just falls under learning by trial & error.

Got the motor mounts welded out and stiffeners in. Had to mod the connecting mount slightly.  The lil HF welder does ok, it could be a little hotter. Haven't really messed with it too much. Just set it on high and run the wire about 4.5 to 4.75. It has a really cold start which sucks especially for tacking. But it's getting the job done. If it wasn't something structural as a scooter frame it would probably be fine. Guess I'm gone find out here shortly when I get the Cannonball on the rode. My definition of breaking something in is f#©k¡Ng max it out. If something breaks well it needed to be replaced anyways. Go Big Or For The Sake Of The Rest Of Us Stay Home! |

It's following the original frame line where it gets wide at the to bend.  I'm not liking it the more & more I look at it. Think I'm gonna cut out the upper elbows and rotate them to give me a more flowing line. |
