Once I get my transmission and figure out how to attach it with a working clutch, the frame and suspension design can begin in earnest.

Good man Peter! I bet you were well chuffed.

So this bike is going to be "designed"? That dont happen often round here :wink: What look are you going for? Trailbike/Sportsbike/Roadbike?

Where's your lump hammer! :wink:
You have far to much correct tooling for my liking :shock:



Glad someone has the resources to do it properly. Am very interested to see the rest of the build blog!

Your workshop, it's so ......... tidy! :P

Looking very good so far. Is that a wooden template of the adaptor plate on the wall? I'm guessing its been milled + CNC?

Are you in the UK? and will you be riding it to the Big Knock?

Yes, have to agree, the setup is looking really good, that bike will have to be a beauty when it's done.

That adaptor plate is a work of art! Shaping up to be an interesting build, i am sure you will be happy with the result.

Mouse, Good eyes. Yes that was one of the prototypes milled from MDF (medium density fiberboard). There were 4 versions before I milled the final from AL. My shop usually isn't that clean. I just happened to take this picture after we finished straightening up for the annual holiday party. :)

If this is too tidy for you, check out the basement of this guy. And no, it's not off topic, it about a three cyclinder diesel engine as well! :-)
