If you can make that frame a reality.......boy, that'll be SWEET!

Do yourself a favor (if you haven't already). Find a roll of the large brown paper, I scored some at a local plant nursery, they have it available to lay in your trunk before putting dirt, etc.. in it. Find a donor bike and trace it to give you an idea of size, tubing angles, etc...

Take that to your welder, it will help serve as a template and help him visualize what your after.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Dr. T
