And a test look with the new one, the repositioning of the shaft has also increased the trail which was a disired side effect.

That is clever, I’m sure it’s not easy but looks superb

Thanks guys, it's only drilling holes in metal,  (mostly in the right place) I'm on to the next bit now. Getting the bits ready to make the legs, bought a 450mm long bit of 30mm dia stainless to make up the bosses for the axle and the link shafts, I made a jig years back to hold the bushes in place, I make the legs in pairs so any size difference is equal and will match perfectly, then fit/bend the tubes and tig weld it all up, here's a test fit picture of it all together, (not sure on the bars) |

So as test for my poor tig welding skills I am making some other bars, using some hex bar and inch tube.
trial set up picture I'm thinking of bending the ends down where the tape is then making up separate ends as the tube is 26.5 mm not 25.4, think its the bore size it's measured on

After a quick tickle with a pipe bender and a bit of a go on the Miller we have the beginning of a pair of bars, not sure if I love them but I have enjoyed the process so far and like the fact they will never rust, hopefully the tig welding won't be too much of a mess  |

I was making great progress, then life got in the way slightly I have purchased some 1" for the bar ends and moved the whole plot into a temporary gazebo until I find room in the shed, it does allow me room to work albeit a bit drafty  |

A compressed picture instead of resized, which looks better?

I always resize to 600 x 600, but either looks fine.
Bike's lookin' fine too.

Thank you sir  , Finally found a spare second to weld up the bars, Always a bit of a worry trying to weld neat where it will be seen but I'm happy so far with the results |
