Harder to drive, gotta throw shifter halfway, let off the clutch and punch it back in while you complete the shift(drom what i have read), PITA and requires more coordination.

All I have driven for the last few months I have been able to legally are automatics. Mom says its a bad idea to let me drive a stick "because your a tweak freak and wouldn't pay attention to the road".

Getting back to the threads purpose, looks good.

 

[sayre315]

yea double clutch means that you have to hit the clutch to get in N then hit it to shift in gear

 

[sayre315]

ok well you guys have probely thought i forgot about this
but i guess i have'nt
so i made most of the brakets and welded up most of the bike

Gas Tank Location??

Are you planning to keep the tank in the same place? If so Then I would bend some pipe that goes over the tank and then bends back to the rear hoop? As Far as the Seat goes use some of the Tubing that you have for the frame and put a fish mouth on it and weld it where you feel the most comfortable sitting on it weld it and then add a few gussets on the seat neck to keep it ridged?

 

[bigfootrules31]

does the forks need bearings

 

[sayre315]

yes the tank is gonna be on the engine
no they dont need bearings
and i've welded up the pipe that goes from the neck to the back side
also im about to weld the seat on

 

[jr dragster T]

The peice of metel for the fork with 3 holes in it. One hole looks higher than the other?

 

[sayre315]

your right they do
but i think its jst how it looks in the picture bc i welded that with precision

 

[jr dragster T]

Yeah must be just the photo. If it was actually not accurate I guess it wouldnt have whent together.

 

[oscaryu1]

Looks good. Didja weld and bend the metal yourself ?

 

[sayre315]

yep
i made a trip to texas so i got a 12ton pipe bender from northerntool
works good
only thing to remember is to fill the pipe with sand and put end caps on it so it doesnt kink
