Decided 30 years ago I was going to build my own frame.... unless immortality kicks in soon I better get my finger out

A friend was selling this for a good price



so after a long day of driving



So now that the Bandikat is put to bed I reckon the time is now





this will be a long term thang, to be honest the full frame thing is a little daunting,

in for a penny tho

the CB13 frame is sitting in the shed waiting for Nov 1st, game plan is to get rid of everyone else's jobs by then, tear into the fab of the 13, then as soon as it's out the door get the 1000 frame in the jig

I dug through the box of things that might come in useful today, found a thing to help make an adjustable support, just needed to turn an insert for it. Figured it better than a block of wood



unfortunately, even after chopping it down I couldn't get the frame at 23.5', the sump plug ended up touching

so I dismantled the swingarm jig and managed to get the spindle through the frame



the adjustable support can hold it while i make inserts to reduce the frame down to 20mm, centering the spindle properly



once that's done the front can be raised to the proper angle , something to pivot on

not much done on this today, but I was quite pleased when packing all the stuff I removed from the engine / frame , to see how little by way of electrical gubbins there is , should be easy enough to hide away . I'll need a power commander, second hand ones for K4 1000's seem a little thin on the ground , K4 750's on the other hand are plentiful, so we're going to call dynojet and see if they are compatible

I did remove the butterfly from inside the link pipe, doing away with a bundle wires, two control cables and black box

That's were i go wrong ,all I use is wood fer this stuff
I've used wood jigs for all my stuff too. It can be fine in terms of accuracy, but it's only really suited for single use jigs where you don't need access to all sides of a joint. Would get knocked around to much in the process of building a whole frame, and get in the way of welding. And that's ignoring the damage it would take from fire....

Dynojet will likely tell you no, but if you get a spare harness to cut ECU connectors off, then repin the PC and load a 1K map you should be gtg, call DJ back and tell em :smiliebiker:
