SV650 - How To Build A Motorcycle Frame

Happy new year to all. The festivities are now over and its time to get back in the workshop, ready for the warmer weather and a lot more time on track this coming year.


Over the past few months we have been working on drawings for all of the components and we thought we would treat you with a couple of images to show the level of detail that we have gone to throughout the project. 


The two images show the CAD model of the frame, with a handful of dimensions that relate directly to the frame jig we have produced, along with a drawing showing the location of each tube that goes into a frame. The frame tubes all have there own separate drawing and along with all the bosses and brackets, there are over 70 components that go into producing each frame, along with a good few hours of TIG welding.

This year we would like to start to enjoy some of the work we have undertaken, by spending more time on track, but would also like to offer the parts that we have designed to others. We are finalising some costings into the manufacturing costs of the various components but in the meantime would welcome any emails or messages from riders wishing to express an interest.

Have a good year!
