Mac popped up Heisenburgs for ’20 mins’ (as he told his missus) to take a look at the frame mods and discuss the seat (too big – not a good idea building a bike around a seat – easier the other way round) and ended up watching Heisenburg  doing his thing until the witching hour.

After bending the bottom rails the Discussion was how to make the top rails flow nicely into the frame without loosing any structural integrity

Lovely Oil tank supplied by mate Hobbit (who’d bought a spare for his chop??). This’ll go on to get the bike fabbed up then we’ll re-visit the fire extinguisher idea

And this is what Heisenburg came up with – pure art……… inter twining tube wrapping around the main frame then flowing out to meet the rear axle plates – beautiful! Shame is – no one will see it as the seat will sit on top!

 just to make sure you’re paying attention!

Starting to take shape, Oil tank mount going on.

What we didn’t take any pictures of was the next few hours of Heisenburg shaving down some stainless bar for a Harley sized head stem to mate into the FZR yolks. The Yamaha stem was cut off, then a stem was made up and pressed into the bottom yolk. His talents never cease to amaze me….. after a few measurements it was made and the bearings just slid gracefully over the stem. He then went on to make a brass bolt which will top the yolks like it’s been there for years! Brilliant!
