New Last Build Thread "maybe"

A couple of "Late Night`s" in the shop.:thumbsup: The bare frame for the LSR weigh`s 12 lbs lighter then the 83 with no swing arm and no steering neck.:shrug:

Today I made motor mounts. Tomorrow I`ll put it on wheels and line up the chain and tack the motor mounts in place. The basic frame with mounts should be welded this next week. There are no alignment collars in the top end so I`ll have to make the top mount later.

Got the frame back from the welder today.:thumbsup: Tomorrow I`ll start on the top mount, seat/tail section, steering damper mount, foot pegs and controls, battery box, gas tanks, rear brake stay and master cyl mount, and anything else I can think of.:umm: My friend Larry dropped off some end caps for the frame jig tube ends. 3-D printer.;) Also made the mount for the tethered Kill Switch. "Kill " doesn`t sound so good.:yikes: Make that a engine shut off switch.:shrug:

Got the rear set mounted (tacked) and right peg. I set both at 1 1/2 degree`s up and forward. Paced the swaged aluminum rod with self lubricating nylafiber chromoly rod ends on to get a visual. Don`t like it.:shrug: I`ll change it around tomorrow. I also rearranged the steering stabilizer. Time for brake MC mount and chain guard, then seat/tail section and fuel tank.

I decided to shit can the upper motor mounts and go with a set of Hugh`s narrow steel ones. I`ll use the tube in the main tube for the rear fuel tank mount.:thumbsup: Made the simplest (ugliest) chain guard ever. After I get it welded up I`ll drill a few holes or slots. That should straighten it out.:shrug: I tried to get the right profile for the seat/tail section. That`s not it.:confused: My mail box is racier than that. Good thing poster board is cheap because I`m going to need a lot of it.

What is the trade-off for making a much longer tail section that encloses the top half of that rear wheel with spokes spinning in the 263 (😁) mph wind?

263 MPH?? I wish. The rule book has restrictions about the tail section. It can not cover any part of the rear wheel when viewed from the side and can not extend over 3" past the rear tire and can not be over 36" from the ground with the rider seated.:shrug:
