I must be putting my degree wheel on the neck wrong? I get 60 degrees of rake, at anyrate it will be around 35-40 degrees when all said and done. This is the first frame I have atempted to build so it should be a bigtime learning expereince to say the least.

actually think you put the degree wheel on correctly, but got to remember vertical probably reads 90 degrees - 60 degrees on the wheel = 30 degrees of rake. (think this sounds right).

Here is a crude draft of what I'm shooting for, never mind the wheels are not in perspective but you get the idea,lol.

drawing looks cool. what tank you going to be using and are you planning to put the seat just aft of the rear downtubes?

I have an idea on the tank but not set on anything yet, and yes the seat pan will be behind that down tube. Kinda a dropseat thing going on.

Should be a cool lookin scoot. You have a bender for the tube you will be using?

Also, what kind of plans you got going for the jack shaft? Best bearings for them i have used is the ones that come in pillow blocks.

Heres the the first one I made.. Heres the shaft.



And all together... before making it a bit pertier.



Mute (me, just on Matts account, with permission, really should make one of my own, but dont own an xs11)

Well just an update on things, I just dropped a little coin on a Tig welder and will be getting my jig metal welded up and getting the tubing for the frame. I cant wait to start fabbing the frame up, should be interesting.

P.S Brian D I havent forgot about you and the pivots. I work nights 5 to 5 so its hard to get out and about.
