    Hi Kev, I'd love a TIG but the tiny workshop I have just can't take it, I'm climbing over stuff as it is!

    I spent the afternoon working on the frame lower sections

    Bosses welded in place and rubbed down
    [​IMG]

    Still had to make a few tiny adjustments to the frame welds but it's perfect now, it even holds the headstock in place the fit is that good :)
    [​IMG]

    I cut and folded the back and side of the lower frame rails
    [​IMG]

    Then ground both smooth, bottom rail ready to be welded
    [​IMG]

    It'll look good me thinks!

    Another big step forward today.

    Cut the knee angles in the frame
    [​IMG]

    And plated up
    [​IMG]

    Headstock welded (there is more frame work here to come)
    [​IMG]

    All welds rubbed down and frame fitted, forks are dead straight and all seems in line, so far so good :)

    The bar above the swing arm is just for support till I know where it's actual position will be, next job is make and fit the rear shock.

    Still exciting in it :)
