Just on this planet to serve the cats, apparently.
Greetings-
New here. I'm looking to see if anyone has a 3D model of a '77-ish 650 frame.
I'm machinist by trade, and I use Fusion360 a lot in my free time. I plan to buy a hardtail kit from TCBros, and they reccomend that you have the engine installed when cutting the frame to help prevent warping. My engine is currently in pieces for a rebuild, so I want to try to design something that can take its place that will tie into all the stock mounting points and just bolt right in. I can get a chunk of aluminum and toss it in the CNC mill once I get a design no problem. That way I have a lightweight "stand-in" that I can use instead of heaving the engine in and out (got 2 blown discs in my back and want to avoid lifting the engine any more than I have to.)
I took a bunch of measurements of the mounting points, and in theory I could make a design, but I much prefer to have the "mating part" (in this case the frame) as a solid model first if I have the option, since I'm not all that confident my measurements are accurate.
Also, I'm just too damn cheap to buy a gutted engine hahahahaha.
Thanks all!
