4. TUBEWORK

Now the frame needed a new back end to take the Buell S1 tailpiece I had previously 'glassed up.
So I referred to the heat department and fired up the trusty mapgas torch on some unsuspecting scrap 1" tube and viola a nice curved subframe slowly evolved.

Busted out the Invertor welder and tacked her on.I fabbed up a couple of shock top mounting brackets and bolted them on.
Sat back to admire my handiwork and realised the swingarm looks a bit spindly and unsupported so that's the next job on the list.
Hunted round a while and found a nice u bend amongst my 'pile of potentially useful parts' or as my wife calls it 'yur junkpile'.
Here's the results of that session.
