please help me before i give up and flog all my parts.
ive squared up the frame rails ,mounted the headstock,nice and square,mounted the gearbox mounts all square.
the prop is on and square to the gearbox mounts,so you would think it was all ok to add the rear frame rails from gear box mounts to the axel clamps.
both rear rails bent the same but when i try to put them on ,one of them is further out from the center of the axel than the other,how can this be ,has any one got any close up pics of the rear part of there frame please,i can not work out what is wrong.

As long as your axle ends up at 90 degrees to the front wheel & your headstock's sitting straight, so that all 3 wheels are running true, the rest is cosmetic really mate. If you have to tweak a tube here & there to get them where you want them it doesn't really matter. Obviously ideally everything would be millimetre perfect, but you just need the finished chassis rolling straight, so it doesn't crab off to one side when you ride it.
I think you're stressing too much about minute details. Take a deep breath & get stuck in again!

sussed it,the bloody headstock was out by about 5mm at the top so when i measured from it ,it put the axel out by about a quater of an inch,which put the frame rails out by just under half an inch and so on,two years ,im not bloody surprized,.

am i rite in thinking that the center of the head stock should be the same distance from the axel clamps on both sides.
my frame is square and the rear end is exactly square ,the front down tubes are the same and they are at the same angle from the ground as in angled in from the frame rails,yet when i measure from the headstock to the center of the axel clamps there is a difference of just under half an inch,
how can this be ,whats wrong now.

Yup, if you take a line from the headstock back to the axle, then from the same point on the headstock to the same poin ton the other side of the axle, they should measure the same.
Can you post a piccie of your frame? Can't think what could be throwing things out. You haven't used the rocker cover on the engine as a guide to centre your headstock have you? The rocker cover's offset to one side -it doesn't run centrally down the engine. If you drop a plumbline from the headstock, between the front down tubes, it should pass through the centreline of the crankshaft pulley.

beat me to it andy. another way to check. might be too obvious to notice was the axle dead central in its mountings before you took the measurments??? easy mistake to make if your not using a jig!  |
