All fab'd and welded, just need to cut down the pivot pin in the front and either thread the one end or drill it for a cotter pin.

Nice work on the seat mount! I am a little worried it might break at the weld half way along though, that is a weak point that could be prone to stressing and breaking. Maybe some gussets underneath going 2" either side of that join with tapered ends to help support it may be a good idea?

What if I welded in a couple pieces, one on each side that goes from the front pivot point to the back angle iron. That way those pieces will be one piece from front to back of the seats sub frame.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Yep, that would be even better! Just worried about your safety, loving the way it looks, great work!

Here we go the seat sub frame is now fully fab'd and just needs paint. Put the seat on it and sat down giving it the bouncing up and down treatment. Nothing broke, twisted or snapped on it.

Wow, this is turning out awesome! I love the seat suspension.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Looking good!

Well she would of been a roller today, but UPS didn't deliver my new rear tire because they had a late train on Thursday so I didn't get the tire Friday. Did get the head tube bearing cups installed and put the forks on.

The seat seems to be strong like bull and withstood me bouncing up and down on it with a fair amount of force.

So I put the engine up in it's place that it is suppose to go and find I have a carb clearance issue. The area by the float bowel I can just do some trimming of the part of the case that sticks up in the way. What I am not yet sure what to do with it is the choke lever.

Looks great! I have the same carburetor on my 66cc motorized bike (legally registered as a moped). Tons of power! I hope you get it to fit somehow... perhaps get an offset intake manifold?

What he said, different intake.

She rolls now... :mrgreen:

Each time you post another mock-up I go back to the first page and look at your "inspiration" photo. It's looking good, but I'm not sold on the handlebars now.

The bars look like a shark mouth. You should weld some teeth in there.

Might have to see what that looks like... HAHAHA

How about a profile shot, without any angle.

Here you go...

That looks real nice.

Ok, the choke lever clears the frame tube now... Now all I need to do is weld on an arm to make it useable again.

Choke in the off position.
