Initial drawing of parameter chassis

Later drawing

Kosman axel adjusters.

When the axel adjusting bolts are tight it is impossible for the axel to move from its possition.

Another veiw of the axel adjusters.

Construction of the back half of chassis.

Triangulation is the key to structural strength.

Adding rigitity to the back half, tubing is kept tight to the rear wheel.

You can almost start getting an idea of the lines the 14 is going to have.

Machining races for steering neck

That's a big hole.

Two races are machined from one peice of steel

4130 steering neck being sized

Prior to welding

One peice now.

Machining for outer tapered bearging

In place in fixture

Back half of chassis so far.

Bringing front tubes to steering neck.

The compound bends are a bit of a challange.

Where they meet at the front.

Upper frame rails will go around the cylinder head.

This is a early concept done before the motor hit the frame jig.

You should notice the parameter chassis changes in the back half and around the motor. I drew much of my inspiration from the KOSMAN Buell.

You will find these types of adjusters on the G2 Prostock Buells. The rear wheel is going to be a Kosman Billet Cone wheel like used on the Prostocks, our 14 will benefit from the addition of bead locks not found on the Prostocker.

By loosening one side of the adjuster you can remove the axel and wheel, since one half of the adjuster is stationary the axel will be in exactly the same place when reinstalled.

I am using a larger diameter tubing, I wll need less of it to get the same strength of smaller tubing.

It is physically impossible for a triangle to deform.

That is Stone Cold in the back ground.

Triangulation designed to keep chassis from twisting and folding in half.

Overall heigth is going to be very low.
