In order to match the size and add a bit of weight in the front I went with a Protask style gooseneck. Still have to clean a pickle it a bit after adding some tabs for the mudflap.
Original idea was to make a 'cubbyhole' recess to hold the GPS but it shielded the unit too much. Built a second with slightly less recess and have a block of PVC to make a holder out of using some acrylic for the face.
My visit to the recyclers proved fruitful and I could have spent a few hundred dollars on material. Got the flatbar I needed and stuck to my $40 limit. Today I did a little work on the seat frame and welded some gussets on the bolt tabs for the rear damper. Still pondering a yoke profile though I'm sorted on a way to match the rest of the design.

Nice block wall its sitting on - who built that? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWill it have a composite back axel?
Hauled all 8tons of it in place. :O)
ReplyDeleteThe initial design has a normal axle hanging off an elastomer torsion box via swingarms on adjustable flanges.
The second is having an axtension built of the back of the seatframe with a Fijian kauri laminate springboard axle.
