Some photos showing the progress on the frame over the past few weeks.
Area around the swingarm pivot. Will be adding an additional tube vertically between the two engine mounts to triangulate this area.
The start of the cross-bracing. All these joins are cut by hand and often test fitted many times before they fit correctly.
The frame beginning to take on a similar form to the CAD model.
Before we left the workshop this evening, we took the frame off the jig for the very first time. Very pleased to see how its come out, just like we had imagined it. Even did a test fit onto the engine, but we'll save the photos for the next update!
This is some serious work. Bending, notching, fitting, welding. Very nice.
