    Kind of what I'm aiming for in frame design. but with square corners instead of the silly bends.

    Now at this stage. The clamp is a counterbalance for the ring gear.


    Might be closer to 40" wheel base, which is what is here.


    engine spacing looks good, and reversing the clutch will move it over about 1 1/2".


    Depending on seat and ass cheek clearance, i may put the other exhaust back on. It test ran it with the original airbox and the other exhaust and it ran fine. This one made it cut out and go all choppy and shit at higher rpm's. Since it's made of pipe fittings, I bet i can aim it somewhere.

    Wasn't happy with the rear axle mount, so I changed it. Moves the frame up a bit and looks better overall.



    Back to the 36" wheelbase.




    time to drink beer and get inspired.

    38" wheelbase, this has bothered me all night. For some reason,the extra 2" seems important. But 40" seems too excessive. I base this on nothing but instinct and intuition.
    The hitch basket on the back of the Tundra is 42" wide, that may have something to do with it.
