Full Frame
Kits are still in the works. Until then, here is a kit that will help make building
a rigid frame a much easier project.
Bending up tube and making the basic
shape of a frame is the easy part.
Fabricating all of the various mounts required to install the forks,
rear axle, motor and transmission is the real challenge. Cutting Ό, 3/8 and
½ plate can be a real challenge. If you have lots of time or access to good
machinery and a pile of steel then making these parts is no problem. If you are
limited to hand tools and the various thickness of needed steel a complete kit
may be the way to go.
MechWerks is
making available complete mount kits for HD style V-Twin mounts as below or
individual parts can be found on the mounts page.
Here is what the kit looks like. The kit
includes a steering neck, front engine mount kit, rear engine mount, front
transmission mount, seat post crossbar, rear transmission mount and rear axle
plates.
The steering
neck is 2 1026 DOM Steel tubing machined square with counter bores of 1.313 for
press in bearing cups. Front motor mount is ½ steel with two Ό support
gussets and five Ύx1 long 3/8-16 threaded bosses for forward control mounts.
The rear engine mount and front transmission mounts are ½ steel. The center
crossbar is 1x2x.125 wall rectangular steel tube cut to 12. The rear
transmission mount is ½ steel for the top and 3/8 for the crossbar. Axle
plates are 3/8 steel for 24-degree top leg and 28-degree lower leg angles. All
profile cut parts are CNC Plasma cut, supplied as-cut and will require
additional finish work. Drawings will be included to show location and size of
mount holes.
