Honda C70 Passport Chop (more shit that i do when i'm bored) II. Daytime photos.

i've got the rhs swing arm welding started.  the fillet welds are just being laid down.  will take about four more passes before the fillets are as thick as i would like before i start hand profiling all of them.  last photo shows the cut and shut weld job that is reinforced with a 10" 4130 steel sleeve that has been tig welded in place.  chinese engine has been fitted for mockup purposes.  

Honda C70 Passport Chop (more shit that i do when i'm bored).

bad night time photos of my new project 1972 honda c70.  main frame shortened by 2" (internally strengthened with .156" 4130 moly aircraft steel from aircraft spruce & tig welded).  head tube severely raked.  swing arm fabricated with a 6" extension.  all tack welded together.  now i have to get the head tube reinforced with a few tig welds before laying down some massive fillet welds.  the rear swing arm (.120") will be further buttressed before massive fillet welds will be added; cross brace for the swing arm will be added tomorrow.  all fillets will be hand profiled.  overall i will have two to three pounds of low fuming bare brass added as fillets.  photos will be added to show progress.  

need to fabricate handlebar risers.  i think clip on style bars would look sweet but make the riding position impossible for anything farther than a few block ride.  

to be continued.
