I made it using 1mm steel but had to make it in three sections due to the shape of the frame and the tube diameters.

Added some holes for the cables to be routed and now it's ready to go to the powder coaters next week.

You really need to make sure there's enough clearance for the wheel under there .have you taken springs off your shockers and lowered it down to the bump stops .that's how I checked mine for clearance .

Thanks roy appreciate the feedback. Good or bad, especially when building a one off.

Right then folks, first off thanks to all the input I had over the the tyre catching. What a balls up that was.
After reading this site and the US sister site I'm going to be using 365mm shocks from the cb750 dohc to give me the look I'm after and give me a extra 30mm (people have said its a good swap)
So with that in mind I've marked the frame and then built this plate for the m-unit.
I've not welded it in yet as I thought I'd post the pictures so you could all have a look and let me know if I've missed anything or forgot something.
Thanks waiting in anticipation.

Looking good. The only problem I can foresee is that there is no way that tumble dryer will fit under the seat  ;D ;D ;D
Joking aside, good luck with this version of the build, makes sense to start again and get it right.

How are you going to route your wires there and make it all look tidy .

Hi nurse Julie, the dryer is going in the sidecar I'm making next year. I had the foresight to think of that. Thanks though

Well I seem to have the help of you and others on this forum

With the m-unit I'm also using the m-button so I won't have that many wires running up the frame, think I might run a plate across the front to hide some of the wires from sight. I was also thinking of running some of the wires inside copper pipe where and if possible making a feature out of it. I've loads of ideas but as already been proved that means nothing.

Hi again. I've changed the plan and I've welded a bracket on to the back loop for the stop and tail light and number plate bracket. I've also welded a plate onto the inside of the loop for the  seat unit.
Used my compressor and a bag of kiln dried sand and sand blasted the frame so its off to the powder coaters tomorrow.
Regarding the the m-unit I've made a bracket to fit over the battery carrier.
I know I've forgotten something but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
