[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 92757, member: 3426"] I was able to jam the frame into the mill and cut two slots into an existing mount and bolt in a unmodified later style Vincent head mount. There will be two frame tubes that attach from just behind that mount and then head back to the swingarm pivot point. They will have to have a slight bend so the right hand one will clear the timing chest. They don't attach directly to the steering head, but are close and the area has lots of gusseting. I have no concerns about rigidity, but curious about final weight even though it's meant to be a road bike/cake decorating exercise. The only real adjustability once done will be the normal things and a bit of rear ride height adjustment assuming I go ahead with the current plan to use the rear shock, linkage/rocker etc. from a Ducati Monster. That won't be finalized until I'm back in the garage and test fit everything. I'm not anticipating any show stoppers, but....... Ps. I have another triple tree, so can add some trail if necessary.
