large welds on one side, means major warp, either minimize welds or use a strong back to pull or push out warp and or twist....sometimes a little force applied and some heat on the offending weld will take out the warp. At work, Bobcat company.....lots of time spent on robot welding sequence,part preload and other considerations.....still heavy mtl. heavy welds, definite problems to solve. On welding fixtures....many times the fixture frame was welded up then sent out to be "normalized" in a large oven....then finally machined. on one off projects like our trikes, become a study in straightening techniques! good luck...looking good!

Thank you Larry these one offs can be a bitch, I should have put that straighten bar in right after tacking, live and learn, but then again I am not a welder... I am still fighting with STRAIGHTNESS, need to be looking at a few more shops that can handle it. My next RT will be really on straightness, I am looking for a table 12" wide by 5ft long, the next RT will require a table 24" wide and 7ft long, so I'm looking at both.large welds on one side, means major warp, either minimize welds or use a strong back to pull or push out warp and or twist....sometimes a little force applied and some heat on the offending weld will take out the warp.

So glad I did this mock up, :clapping:Now I get a better feel for the cross piece, And the jack shaft will go in here somewhere? Next will be the dual coil overs on the front steering support to the control arms...Somebody is NOT remembering the location of jack-shaft? seat?

Shock to the right and jack shaft to the left, :gah:MAYBE the seat will clear? Front side view will look something like this? IF I do a fiberglass nose piece, It will be with air inlet in mind. The next M/C swap meet will be July 29, will be thinking hard and heavy about the Harley rear rim??? $300. Tire $250. BUT it will look sooooo cool...

Bellcrank probably application specific. In other words, do you know what motorcycle it came off of? You will probably have better luck visiting a motorcycle salvage yard for identifying and locating a matching part.
Chains and sprockets. Your local bearing / industrial supply store will probably be able to help you. Just take your existing motor sprocket in and they can probably spec you some new parts.

Need to find specs on dimensions, but there are a lot of these from different models. If you can find one you like on a bike, then search ebay.
The NAPA part probably has a vehicle application attached to it also. Whatever you choose be sure you record it's pedigree so you know when and if you have to replace/repair it.
