Re: Supercharged café racer
I feel I have to ask if you have considered the pivot point of the rear of the swingarm when you mounted the shocks straight up and down. Looks good, but the swing arm pivots in an arc, which could cause the shocks to get in a bind. Maybe I'm not seeing something, but thought I should ask the question

Re: Supercharged café racer
Hi, thanks for your concern about the suspension. I'll send a photo of the first side of the turret suspension I completed! It's still at an angle, but there's no issues with it & it works fine mate. It's also a lot stiffer once I'd removed the smaller spring & replaced with the aluminium tube. Thanks Nev.

Re: Supercharged café racer
Love the creativity. Looking at the one shot from behind, the pic makes the Front and rear wheels kitty whampus. It might be worth checking they’re parallel before getting too far as it would appear this one is going to haul a$$.
I had this bookmark but on my iPhone it now comes up empty. It was rather involved and took into consideration that the wheels didn’t have to be in line. http://www.motorcycle.com/how-to/chassi ... -3444.html

Hi Eric,
Well there's a saying I've never heard before? No need to worry fella, she's all straight! Believe me, I've looked & work on it for three years now, cheers Nev.

Hi Kev, thank you. Do you think it would be better to show each section I have completed at each stage? Cheers Nev.

Re: Supercharged café racer
I appreciate you sharing your work. I love watching things evolve.,You should be able to add five pics per post.
Curious of what you’ve gut going on with the water tubes coming out of the top of the left head.

Re: Supercharged café racer
Hi Eric, no mate she's straight as! That's the beauty of a wide angle lens? Regarding the water pipes, I've cut & shortened the thermostat housing! That's why two pipes leed in to one! I know you're now thinking it might get to hot, but I've solved that too? I have a brass sleeve instead of a thermostat! I use them on my mini engines! Cheers Nev.

Re: Supercharged café racer
Well, this kind of work is way above my pay grade, but I sure do appreciate those who can do it and who share the photographs of their work. This is gonna be some machine – and very unique.
