Since there is no suspension on this, I want to spread the loads the axle block will suffer deeper into the chassis. With the fixed lead position on t...
Project within a project. I needed an adjustable mounting point on square tubing for the shift linkage parts I stole off my Dyna, and a couple tabs fr...
I'll leave it bare metal for a while, easier to spot any weld failures. Then maybe spray bomb it the same shade of "Bass-O-Matic" gray I painted the b...
Underside pieces made and welded in place, both are 1/8" CR. While the inner frame rail is one 4' tube, the outer is 5 pieces, now a 2' long bar spans...
Well, I've shown some TIG welds, so here are some MIG welds. Due to my unique physiology, I find that the lack of articulation again results in very s...
Another weld and sand day. On the first chassis, I added a redundant axle block support with the 1/4 inch aluminum from my old EDS signs. Although thi...

Eight more TIG welds to get the center frame rails in, and it still sits flat (enough) on the table. So I didn't build a rocking chair, or a pretzel o...
The completed first chassis, with internal ballast, weighs 43.9 lbs. At this point, the incomplete second chassis, weighs 39.2 lbs. The next time it c...
Another mock up day, the upper mounts were the last parts that had to find their place. So a lot more pieces to add, and it's gonna get heavy now. Tom...
I wear a lot of hats around here, but found some time for this. I needed to find my groove with the MIG, playing with the auto set, and then my own se...
Due to the excellent input from @2FLTC, to which I completely agree, the zoo bike (the Dyna) will remain on two wheels. So while I do like the Dyna's ...
You know, I hadn't even thought of that, but I can definitely see how it would now. Thanks for that great info.
