Some skills there! Where have you mounted your coolant sensor? (assuming you're using one!)

did a bit more today. was 32 degrees in work though so nothing strenuous. seat unit chopped in half needs 70mm in the middle its got a nice bit return for me to push into when launching, so i wont slide off the back. drew some wheelie bars. i think i may have done this before, but this should be a better design as the mounts are welded to the frame and the spindle bolts though it, so its seriously attached. full rose joint adjustability.

You'll be suprised how much force will go through the bars so i'd say you'd need plates both sides of the front attachments to stop a single bolt getting bent. All the rose joints are nice but a tad excessive. The front bottom or the front top links can be adjustable so bar wheel height may be adjusted, the other front ones can be a simple solid bush. The tube joint at the rear is normally a simple splice. The two sides need linking together usually a simple cross diagonal brace is sufficient. The whole frame work needs to be rigid so when up on the bars they will ensure you go where pointed - any flex will give unwanted steering that isn't controllable until you are back on two wheels.

foot pegs. drilled one side of the box 10mm diam, other side 18. made an 18od crush tube .5mm too short. wind the peg into the box with an m10 bolt and the while lot clamps together nice. little simple bracket for the dash. switch gear also fitted.

blocks which surround the top rod ends other end which has the axle running through it like so once i've got that lot bolted to the bike i can miter and weld the diagonals in.

some random iron tubes turned up today. 86mm inside diameter :think: did a bit of maths and a pretty picture made some phone calls to sort some shiny bits of forged aluminium from america. also had a 27kg block of aluminium delivered. i'm not overly happy with the first billet block i made, so i'll do another one over christmas. will probably finish the first one and bang it on ebay.
