 I didnt have time to cut them to length before it went to the welder,so he welded them as is ,and Ive got to trim them down to about 4" They will eventually be the tubes for a slide in /slide out cissy bar for the passenger. My daughters request! Notice no footpegs as yet......... I fitted eng/box /axle back in to allow me to get the peg positions right once Ive finished the seating position. I feel that this is a critical area (for me anyways) so I needed time to juggle everything around a bit!

No need to rush things Rod -better to take your time & get them right first time. Mind you, my build's taken 4 years, on & off, so far -& I'm still making mistakes!  Nice tidy frame that. |

I want to get it driving ,but at the same time I've gotta juggle money and time availability .Then theres always the prospect of the HUGE vacuum after its finished and on the road! I like the building more than the final use ! Think I'll get the seat and pegs done then carry on the build in my shed,rather than my garage its in at the moment.Ive not seen it assembled out in the daylight yet!

As others here have shown recently, you'll be suprised how different it looks when you can stand back & take a good look at it. Anyone who's ever customised anything knows a project's never finished -there'll always be tinkering & fettling to do. They have a habit of evolving beyond your original plans!  |

Got the gear linkage working today(a la TT) ,well its the first version ,and a bit rough looking ,just gotta strip it down and shape it up a bit but it appears to work fine . I may leave it like it is for now until the beast is driveable ,then refine it on my private test track. Also made a card mockup of the fuel tank .
