Still investigating my leading link front end. Anyone got an opinion on these?

NO. Please do not contemplate this.
Designed for a very small light bike. Look strong but will be very light as most of the material has been machined away underneath.
Looks like even the stem is alloy.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.

i saw a few at 48 mm but hellish expensive. I could go to custom made yokes, but that will be a lot of £££ I think  Sad

If you know someone that could bore the holes for you ,
You could do the rest yourself.

I suppose so, its the hole accuracy that makes or breaks em i suppose. Maybe I can find a local engineering firm tha cam do that for me. Just no Idea of what im doing with this - eeeek

I suppose a good staring point would be wheel width.
That will give you an idea on the hole spacing.

Thats the trigger i needed Hunter:)

If I start there I can get the caliper carriers in , speedo drive etc and that will then set me a width between the rockerss. I could rough all that out to prove how I was going to do it. once I knw that I can work uphill on my dimensions Smiley

I have a fat bob style tank on, so wider stachions (and fatter ones) will give it a more balanced look I suppose

i wouldn't worry about the clutch Rod. i standard reliant weighs just over 400kg and it can carry 4 adults  Shocked. so yours at 300kgs plus 2 adults. that leaves 100kg plus 2 adults and a bit to play with Wink

i used to tow break downs in with a robin van when i was a teenager , i used and abused it as much as possible never ,killed, a clutch wore a couple out through general wear and tear , and even snapped a crank off behind the flwheel,, but as i say clutch,s stood up to it very well.

Maybe its deceptive Rod. True there are 2 chairs to the rear and a little steel behind them, other than that its about the same I think. Currently weighs about 250 kg with all the stuff on, I am expecting 300 - 350 when its finished.
