In case you missed it, here's a little hardtail Diamond frame I threw together just before the old forum keeled over....

This pics was taken before I finished the welds and motor mounts etc.....its now sat in a corner while I find the time and parts to build it up....

Thanks dude, I just fancied building a simple style frame but using my "snake neck" style and square section on the diamond.......now do I build a nice cool girder or maybe go for a springer......

Yep , them's the one's ! The last one (B) was inspired by the HD springer , but I recently saw a Brough Superior with a set of forks that looked like I had copied them !
I guess great minds do think alike !!

I used to draw on the back of cigarette cartons, then I gave up smoking....then I started drawing on beer mats but I gave up going to pubs regularly....I've run out of napkins so I guess I'll just have to settle for getting my daughter to draw it using a CAD package
