Body Fit and Engine Placement

 Body placement:  The body was a tight fit.  I will have to remove some additional body so that it fits better.  This will also allow for more clearance between the rear tire and the wheel well.  Very close from paper to fabrication. 

 Rear fender placement.  I am going to add some additional mounts to the frame and rear swing arm box.

Engine placement:  The K1200RS engine is huge!  I will fabricate the engine mounts next and also the rack and pinion steering.

Frame

 Spot welding the frame together.   It is good when a plan comes together!

Body support mounting points.  I will hopefully get some time to flip the frame and finish welding this week and then look at mounting the rack and pinion and then the engine and rear end. 

Fabrication of Frame

 Front a-arm suspension fabrication.  More to come.

 I finally got my all my sheet metal parts and I have been welding all day.  I am just positioning all of the pieces and will come back and weld them later.

  

Had a friend weld on an aluminum plate to support the open aluminum bike frame.

Cut out the fiberglass so the motorcycle frame portion has a spot to go.
