Awesome!!!
Thanks! I am super stoked!!!
What tube are you using?
For the bottom tubes, what you saw in the video, that's 1" OD/ .120" wall. For the "spine" or top tube of the frame, I'll be using 1/2" OD.
Out of curiosity how much “spring back” did you see with the 40 degree bends?
It's about a 7º spring back, from my experiments. But, to be honest, for this project, I'm more about repeatable angles than exact measurements.
Either this was a couple weeks ago or you have at least a little heat in your garage! The temps have been brutal this weekend - way to cold to spend any real time in the garage.
So, anything in my red hoodie was weeks ago (ha - I had a busted knee back then). But when you see me with the black hoodie on, that was shot yesterday! I was shocked the camera didn't pick up my frozen breath on video.
Are you planning to lose the air boxes and go with pod filters? RPM’s UNI filters will save your some space - and Randy has the jetting for them too!
Both bikes came with K&N filters. I like the size and shape of them, so I'm going to attempt to fashion two different air boxes out of sheet metal, or if time allows, I'd really like to get some fiberglass or kevlar or -better still- carbon fiber and try my hand at shaping something! Hopefully, I'm not jinxing myself, but I got a much earlier start on the build this year so I should have more time to try new things.
