Dutch-K5 Fan:
I thought that I had a good looking billet yoke, but yours looks much and much better.

Like you, my project has been on the back burner, due to family and work mostly (I'm responding to this thread from up in the Arctic, Northern Canada).
I have lots of new parts in my workshop that I haven't touched. But I've finally got rounbd to getting on with it. Well, I've taken it to a builder and he's just done the frame recently.
That frame yoke looks fantastic! Shame about my timing, otherwise I'd have offered to buy one off you...
cmotodad:
Those are some great looking parts. Are any going to be avaliable to purchase? Like the Y. Those are the parts that set a bike apart from others for sure.
jBernard:
whew. after a bit of a delay on the guy getting to weld the frame up, i finally got it back.
had to make a few more passes on the welds because looking back i way over engineered the yoke, wall thickness on the joints is way to thick. its .250 and should be .125 or less so it would be more visually matching the frame. but hey, this is version 1 right? :lol:
in regards to if i'd offer some parts for sale. yes, that is something that is def on the horizon. so stay tuned on that one :wink:
here are some crappy iphone pics right when i got it back.
sandblaster:
Wow!
Looking good.
Just curious how you bent your rails?
