Broken AF frame - Do you know of any?

<< < (2/9) > >>

jBernard:
have you seen Jfabs 'head bolt pattern to front tube' bracket? i wonder if something like that would help. care would be needed to be given in the design for easy engine removal, but to have another mounting point on something solid like the main down tube seems like it would help. so then you would have 2 anchors on extremely rigid structural material, then your 2 engine mounts on the bent tubing.

Dutch-K5 Fan:
What about this SR head?




Kawasaki used front and back headmounts. It's even in the place where many 450f and never 250f have the Original mount.

I am gonna find a solution for that issue, an extra head mount on the front for my AF. I think I make it fully removeable, no welding.

sandblaster:
Already done it





Even if you weld the mount on, you can still remove the engine.

jBernard:
i may have to do one of these for some added insurance.
wonder if it will negatively affect vibration.
