Hi ..silverbear...The graymatter isn't as quick as it use to be...but it beats sitting in front of a TV and getting brain washed... Have cut the rear triangle tubes today and notched the ends ..just setting up a jig to weld it up...I'm waiting on a Honda xl100 rear hub...would be nice to run with NO brakes ...but I'm past using the bottoms of my boots for brakes....I think there 5 1/2" width between the fork plates....should have it tomorrow and can set the jig up properly....I think there is a lot people dont realize when doing a project like this... its not a bicycle ..tube strength and steering geometry is very impotent as it will easy attain over 80 MPH.....perment injury is far worse than death at my age......more latter
