OK, Feeling not to good about the welders not wanting to hold flatness, sooooo! I redesigned the lower frame to eliminate the 45 degrees (6 pieces) now it is one piece, wider for the suspension but that's OK. Can you believe the hardest part is cutting the 45 degree gussets for the control arms, DAMN cheap Harbor Freight chop saw...
Now is the time to mock up the 2 sets of frame rails for the swing arm and looking at sprocket (Harley) clearance and what about the jack shaft? 2 sprockets Harley and Honda?View attachment 62609Does anyone have any input for jack shafts?
Stiletto Fast Ratio Small Box Rack and PinionThe ultra fast action of this rack-n-pinion is designed for small oval track or mini baja applications. Precision machined from high strength steel and billet aluminum. Close tolerance manufacturing processes have been incorporated in these units, resulting in a very smooth action, with near zero backlash.
For rear steer applications (steering arm relative to steering axis), mount in the position as shown. This unit may also be mounted inverted, for front steer applications. Considered to be one of the finest rack-n-pinions on the market, proudly made in the USA.
I am in the process of making fixtures to keep the upper and lower rails square so I can weld the 18 degree uprights that tie them together and the swing arm/rim that is giving me fits...I emailed my Harley source of my problem so I will see him Oct. 28 at the LB motorcycle swap meet...
