This is what Harry's bike will look like when we are
finished
(CAD-drawing by Duckman, see Cadbike
# 13)
Wilf and me took out the engine and gearbox and loaded
it in my Dodge to
take the whole thing to Johan and Aad Heemskerk, who will fabricate
some
brackets and do the welding, using the Cadbike
# 13 drawings for reference

The plate that connects the rear fender to the frame
was cut from 16 mm steel plate
using a watercutter and a CAD design I made. First Aad welded the fender
on a
few spots so we could decide if the angle of the fender was okay. While
I am writing
this he has already fully welded both sides of the frameplate, making
the fender strong
enough to support Harry's considerable weight without need for further
brackets.

Aad also is responsible for the excellent welding on
the sprocketbrake brackets. The
brackets for the mini Brembo calipers were machined
out of aircraft quality aluminum,
once again from a CAD-design I did (see Cadbike
# 13)
Harry finally gets to sit on his new bike, guess those
forward controls will have to be
moved forward quite a bit! To be continued when
everyone is back from their holidays.
