Made a rear hoop. Had to rig something up on my welding table first.

The 7/8 tube fits right in between the square tube and the rounded off template.We filled the tube with sand to prevent kinks, taped off the ends, braced the table to a tree, then with a 10 foot 1 inch tube bended the 7/8 like it was nothin'.
We proceeded to cutting to lenght and plug welding/welding the hoop to the frame.
Also welded the brackets(1/4 inch steel) for the shocks. A little paint and we will be starting basic assembly soon

The new shock brackets extend past the hoop weld to act as reinforcements , it Will be a single Seat bike but better err on the safe/sturdy side.
