Topic: BUILDING A JIG FOR A RIGID FRAME

[500chop]

IM JUST STARTING A 72CB500K CHOP, AND BOUGHT A REALLY NICE WELD ON HARDTAIL KIT, BUT CANT QUITE DECIDE HOW TO SET IT UP .  ANY IDEAS?

[brainlessbiker]

you can take the stock frame and tack the kit to the swingarm in  the same spot on both sides. you may have to cut the drop outs then set your height by bolting a piece of flat stock to the upper and lower shock mounts that way it will be square when you weld to the frame.

Free frame jig plans are at http://64.172.168.34/neatstuff/welding-jigs-1.htm. 

And if you're gonna build frames, do yourself a favor and get a copy of The Chopper Builder's Handbook at http://64.172.168.34/neatstuff/cds-1.htm.  RR
