Ok, so with the help of Nutty (thanx Nutty) here's my idea for my Blade.
Soz the picture quality aint much but you'll get the idea!

Blade fighter Phonepicofjustneedsbellypan

Wow it worked!

Ok so Six months ago I started mocking up a new Sudframe in wood


Blade fighter Image008


Blade fighter Image004

Then spoke to a fabricator that did work for my employer about making it up in Ali square section tube...................Well he did.............Badly.
so back to square1 badmood

Second hand Subframe was bought n I did it myself......... woot

Blade fighter Image003

Since then not much has changed but the ideas for Battery/eleccy tray have been a real Nightmare coz thay wouldnt fit under the tail piece I chose....... which is from a 1983 CB750FB (the rest of it's still in my garage part way thru its own build) but thats another story. pullhaur2

Leccy tray is part built but no pix yet...

So there you have it..............except
I rebuilt the steering coz it needed new bearings and have fitted a new top yoke........... Fat Bar risers are on their way.

That all for now.

Wot do ya think? Rolling Eyes Pig in a Poke? tongue
Well I'm happy bleh

If you find you need a new tailpiece at any stage of the build, let me know, I have about 3 of these.

If you go down the horizontal route like I am with the R6 undertray then you have to buy a gel battery mate.
Normal acid battery will leak if its not upright.

From ive seen of batteries, with my current one especially. I had to add the acid to the battery, once done I had to press the two sealing caps over the six filling holes.

Apparently from what I have read the gel batteries dont even leak if they get cracked?

Nice work mate, it looks to be coming along nicely, your certainly one step ahead of me being able to weld ally, i've always sent my bits off and paid through the nose for that, keep em coming bud.

One thing that did worry me whilst i was browsing through your pictures is what i noticed in the background. Please don't tell me one of your other projects is a CB250N Superdream? Any other CB but not a Superdeam please. Suspect

Its looking good mate!

Are you using ali braising rods?

I used them to weld up my subframe, not easy stuff to work with & it took quite a few goes to get it right & then I chucked a bit of JB weld on it all to make it look smooth rofl
