Alright, I came to a big decision tonight.

Before I was having to compramise on my geometry. Im shooting for about 22 degrees rake. But rotating the bike that far forward made my swingarm angle pretty extreme.

Now ive decided to cut my frame just aft of the front motor mount, pivot the front section of the frame to desired rake, while keeping the engine level to the ground, and build the back half of the frame.

This should provide me with more rake, slightly shorter wheelbase, and a good swingarm angle.

This is inspiring work! Great stuff, not sure how safe it will all be in the end but you are fearless and the builds are looking cool. I feel tiny right now as I struggled to remove my header pipe tonight cheeky

Thanks. It will be as safe or safer than the bike was in the stock form. better handeling and better brakes. Also I was riding the bike with a cracked frame and motor mount. thats not too safe.
