Wow, rolled your own rims! Just great to watch this. :thumbup: |
| OKTomT:
Thanks vtsteam Rschilp I would gladly share plans if I had some. here are some pictures that I used as a reference. My bike has a 58 inch wheel base. |
| vtsteam:
The only question I have, Tom, is, with the engine that tall and heavy at the top, is there enough side to side support on the one tube frame members? Like if you lay it down, will the engine want to deflect sideways. I do see the nice double gusseted bracket supporting the engine case, but above that where the frame is a tube there will be some pretty good local twisting strains, maybe?. Of course you can tell better by feel, since you have the bike and aren't just looking at a photo, like I am. Also I don't know how heavy that tube wall is or if there are doublers, etc. |

Yabut simple job to drop a head steady on it. |
| OKTomT:
John is right I will add a head steady . but I am not sure it needs it . I ordered .120 wall tube for this bike and after I built the frame I ordered some more for the handle bars. when it showed up I discovered that the first batch was .160 wall. :doh: |
