Looks realy good so far,what frame did you use for the dohc engine?Did you ad down tubes on the front part of seca or maxium frame?
Hey Scorpio.....
The front loop is a Honda CB Nitehawk....It's been proffesionaly hardtailed..
I bought it on Ebay after months of searching.
Had to completely re-work the engine mounts,and as you can see,it only JUST fits!!!!
I have the engine mounted at the rear,in two places,and a twin mount at the front...No head steady due to the original mounting points for the seca/maxim frame.Am hoping it's gonna be stable enough,otherwise i'll have to knock up a mounting bracket!!
Iv'e even had to make some cork gaskets for the carbs,where they bolt to the heads,to cheat enough clearance between the top of the carbs and the backbone!
The original Honda frame has a removeable down tube and lower rail(all one piece),which makes it slightly easier to get it in.It's been a lot of head scratching,but I dig the "squeezed in" look of it
My next major problem is how to route the exhaust headers,as the twin down tubes are right in front of the exhaust ports!!
I have seen a couple of frame tube alterations on the forum,I.E an x shape to allow the pipes clearance,but i don't want to compromise on the look of the frame
So,i'm currently messing around with some flexible steel exhaust tubing
