Rear Tire will change to General G-Max RS 245-40-18 which reads 25.7" highx9.8" wide, so instead of 22" high, now will be 25.7" high.General Tire-245-40-18GmaxRs.jpgBut then again I'm still in mockup...:gah:

HPIM4997.JPGSo glad I did this mock up, :clapping:Now I get a better feel for the cross piece, And the jack shaft will go in here somewhere? Next will be the dual coil overs on the front steering support to the control arms...Somebody is NOT remembering the location of jack-shaft? seat?

HPIM5000.JPGHPIM5001.jpgShock to the right and jack shaft to the left, :gah:MAYBE the seat will clear? Front side view will look something like this? IF I do a fiberglass nose piece, It will be with air inlet in mind. The next M/C swap meet will be July 29, will be thinking hard and heavy about the Harley rear rim??? $300. :( Tire $250. BUT it will look sooooo cool...

HELP! Does anyone have any leads to part numbers for this style bell cranks (2)? DRZ400-Bell_crank-super7thheaven.co.uk.jpgI am thinking like local NAPA auto store? And while we're at it, jackshaft sprockets, I am thinking using 2 the same size as the engine sprocket?
 
Bellcrank probably application specific. In other words, do you know what motorcycle it came off of? You will probably have better luck visiting a motorcycle salvage yard for identifying and locating a matching part.

Chains and sprockets. Your local bearing / industrial supply store will probably be able to help you. Just take your existing motor sprocket in and they can probably spec you some new parts.

HPIM5010.JPGHPIM5012.jpgMore playing with shock locations, and I'm thinking of making my own bell cranks...
 
RebelRouser

More playing... HPIM5020.jpgMaybe the shocks should be higher yet and maybe I will build a fiberglass nose around them? 1-RT Front.jpgOK, will start dimensions for the upper control arm brace/frame...:clapping:

Gotta love my local (Long Beach Ca.) motorcycle swap meet every month, just scored a rear rim with mounts for disc and sprocket, 18x10w.HPIM5077.JPGHPIM5079.JPGHPIM5082.jpg

Hoping to get the lower frame welded this week. HPIM5083.JPGI really do not like the offset of the tire and swing arm.
 
RebelRouser

Can't make up my damn mind, shocks???HPIM5110.jpgAnd I want them adjustable...
 
RebelRouser

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...

Tack welded frame rails, need fixture for alignment of 18 degree uprights, and aligning swing arm...HPIM5744.JPG
 
RebelRouser

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...HPIM5747.JPGI emailed my Harley source of my problem so I will see him Oct. 28 at the LB motorcycle swap meet...
 
RebelRouser

Fixtures are welded and trial fit in place, should have taken photo of fixture by themselves, next time...HPIM5772.JPGHPIM5773.JPGHPIM5780.JPG
