    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  5 лет назад +1

      No sorry... That was done 'on the fly'...

    • @MrAvicii
      @MrAvicii 5 лет назад +1

      Thanks for answering, how did it handle in the end, I am planning on doing the same thing, but tought it would be better to make the bracket so that both holes where pointing the same «way» like this: 0-0 and not turned 90 degrees like this 0--( hard to explain)

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  5 лет назад +2

      It feels and handles great! But you have to take notice of the fact that I am running different wheels, good tyres and a 48mm FJR frontfork plus R1 rearshock... That all helps aswell... ;) My previous project ran way less.

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  6 лет назад +1

      Kenneth San Juan That's why I go to the workshop and not my own garage... One of the topics I mention a lot: 'make choices in what tools and machines to invest in and what to outsource...'

    • @KennethSanJuan
      @KennethSanJuan 6 лет назад +1

      Chiefpep also I notice bout the design of your exhaust pipe design. Aren't you afraid of gettin burn on your right leg?

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  6 лет назад +1

      Yes, we will make a heatshield when I can ride it. When alle the covers, tank etc is on I can put it in the workshop and decide how this should look and where it should be positioned. But for sure there will be a shield. Thanks!

      Paul Mcclune From the scrapyard. Random out of a box with these latch things... I think it's from a racer. They always have the hump which you can switch from Seat to plastic cover.

    Did you have to do any modification to get the R1 rear shock to go in? or did it just bolt in? I just pickedup an XV750, and looking to swap out my rear shock.

    Hi Chief Pep! Amazing work! You mention that you use 1inch pipe. I am wondering, do you mean in fact 1inch tube? The reason is that 1inch pipe is actually around 33mm OD whereas 1inch tube is 25mm OD. I am interested to know because I like the size of your frame and would like to follow for my own upcoming one! Cheers.

    I Can see that you also came up with the idea of making the Seat Quick release with no visible bolts :)
    Here is how mine came out. Used a Suzuki gsxr pillion Seat lock mechanism, . That idea came from my gsxr street bike, so i borrow the mechanism and fabricated the frame mount for it
    Check the vid
    ruclips.net/video/xCpNCorgRPw/видео.html

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  7 лет назад +1

      I See, yes! We still have to mount this mechanism. Can't remember where this lock came from. I got this from the scrapyard. And it will have bolts I think. Think we will mount it this week. Your solution looks great!

  • @mr420B
    @mr420B 6 лет назад

    really dislike that subframe top mount- llooks goo but the way the bolt goes in just doesnt sit rght with me! much prefer one at each side firmlly anchoring the subframe to the top rails!

    • @mr420B
      @mr420B 6 лет назад

      especially with those bent lower rails! surely thats literally acting as a lever?!

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  6 лет назад

      It's all really sturdy, tight and strong. Don't worry. Sorry you don't like it or it doesn't feel right... I think it's a matter of taste and if you were there during the process you'll probably find out it's all good.

      Kaspar I was waiting for a comment like thi! You are probably right. Strange thing is, in Europe our rules are not so strict as for instance America. And welding like this doesn’t really hurt but to say it's safe, no not really. Thanks for the comment!
