Clive's JMC Frame

[clivegto]

Slots cut in the spacers forks fitted to yokes.

Lovely looking frame there, will follow with interest

Head stock bearings arrived today. To fit the eccentric head stock stem I made a couple of spacers up as it's too long. I'll get a shorter one made up later also the top head stock has slight damage where it holds the bearing which needs a repair. Fitted the forks for mockup.

That looks very upright " i guess it's the way frame is sitting"

Yes.

Don't look like there's much lock to lock but maybe camera angle

This is what I'm going to work from for the angel of the dangle. Forks do look steep maybe just need to be longer.

It won’t be a slouch with that nice steep angle

Might be a bit wobbly at high speed when coming on boost though

Didn’t think they twitched that much with the wheel in the air………

Does the bike in the picture above have adjustable yokes/headstock? I'm puzzled as to why the forks aren't parallel to the headstock?

Late to the party but i finally measured one of my 90 1k tanks, it would fall through the frame spars.
