Assembly #1

The next steps of fabrication moved rapidly. The 1-3/4" (44.5 mm) DOM tubing was lathed down to 43mm at one end of each, to slip through the bandits stock front fork trees. The downtubes were then cut, bent, and welded with substantial gussetting at stress and vibration points. brackets were welded to the end of the downtubes to mate with bearing block shoes on the swingarm. Tubework was fun.
