It's 55cm from the rod for the rear brake pedal to the tad on the front of the bike

 

[sideshow bob]

[sideshow bob]

[sideshow bob]

[sideshow bob]

looks good
the only thing i didn't like with the extra bracing was the extra rear struts
having the bend in the middle will be the weakest point, and the will bend there is you land hard etc
straight ones would have been stronger

great work

 

[sideshow bob]

thanks yeah was gonna do straight 1s but didnt look as good and needed to bend it around exhaust mount, else make them go right down to main frame.

 

[Karlos247]

The bend goes the opposite way to forces put on it. You've done a top job mate. That frame will never bend.

 

[sideshow bob]

thanks again karlos for the info n pics

 

[sideshow bob]

ok this is where the bike is up to now all running just need to check the jetting now and sort out my cdi

 

[my67xr]

3rd pic down,
it looks like the new frame is a bit raked at the front ?
or is it just the photo?
looks like the head tube is leaning back a fair bit more than the other bike in the pic

 

[sideshow bob]

its the way the bike was sitting on the stand, not sitting level front up in the air. i measured the frame and got 55cm from brake rod to tab on headstem so should be all ok. the jetting my thumpstar had is pretty close to right have to check plug now to confirm, and measured carb up n its a 26mm. now it up and running thinking i should have put the close ratio 3 speed in it and still might do that soon.

 

[sideshow bob]

what gearing s everyone running on there 3 speed gear boxes?

 

[Karlos247]

14t - 37t is stock
Most people run 13 - 39t
If I can find a 12t I'd like to try 12 - 38

 

[sideshow bob]

So every1 gearing them down. Hmm interesting is that On stock motors?
