Decided to put my spares to use and start a race bike build, beginning with the frame, my goal is to have a rolling chassis by winter, then work on engine through the snow months. Starting modestly, and strategically directing funds. Will be based on the spare 750 lump that's been sitting on my bench for years. Lots of head work, likely a molnar steel crank, short stroke build with JS bits. Standard tranny as I can't budget for a TTI box.
Spent the past couple of weeks straightening and reinforcing the frame, swingarm and cradle, spray bombed it and just got the bits together. Next up will be fitting a T140 rear hub.
Swingarm straightening
blasted and painted frame
SA and cradle reinforced, new verniers installed
assembled
my version of the valve spring/engine support bracket, this has a 7/16-20 bolt threading into a valve cup from the bottom
