As I understand it "its well known that Bob was stubborn" so it was done with a bit of butchery and adjusting the engine position slightly it only need a few mm of clearance as if you look at a close up pic the frame / rear mount slightly encroached over the case ... Bob supplied a longer stiffer arm with drag slots for the revised lowered version of the bike and i think he tried a set of raked yokes in it as well Apparently when he ordered the beam frame it was built with clearance for the lockup spacer "I bet that was a very abuse laden conversation" but that said he did a lot to promote Spondon on a coax its a huge problem to overcome as the cover / engine is behind the arm pivot ... . so best not to go there 18 hours ago, Gixer1460 said: A m8 with a mag4, similar problem - ended up cutting the offending tube out and remaking it with space! Yes Jimbo with the Yellow Harris turbo had to have his frame modified for the same reason I think there's a pic on here pics are here unfortunately some the pics are photo bucket overlayed since he originally posted but still viewable and there are clear ones on page 3 Edited October 27, 2023 by Duckndive 2 Quote Link to comment
