[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 130637, member: 3426"] I wish it was a MG frame.. or totally from scratch. There was logic applied to the frame choice, but it escapes me at the moment. Using it did force me to make some compromises. It came from this bike, which is a glorified version of the famous plastic maggot. No.. the palm tree is not mine, but yes the photo was taken in Canada. When I complete the bike, I intend on taking another photo in the exact same location. It will likely cause me great shame, because in all likelihood the palm will have grown to the point where the leaves are no longer in the frame. I’ve only posted a thumbnail image to reduce the possibility of causing anyone ocular trauma. The frame is slightly different from the photo in that link. The back section was cut off, threaded slugs installed inside the rear frame tubes.... which holds the version 2.0 oil tank, turn signals, tail light and a “Quick-Latch” to hold down version 5.2 of the seat/tail section. I also redid the garish rearset brackets and installed a ceramic coated pipe with the A/F sensor bung. Bill, Genedn...there was progress yesterday. I now have working turn signals.
