Stretched and Lowered

[kartjockey]

Nothing lately.  Been busy on the wrong stuff.  But back on it this week. Drawing up my motor mount plate to have it burned out

Thanks: Post when you can. I'm stretching mine this Winter but thinking about heating and bending the LOWER tubes to gain a little seat height  as this will lower the drop out which raises the height. I think??

Made some changes this week!  Off with the old motor mount and on with the new. Plus I added the plate for my jack shaft set-up.

Once I have my alignment the way I want it I will pop the plates in the mill and put the necessary holes in them. Then weld them on.

Is it snowing yet ?

Tom, Just a fyi. I found this rim and matching tire that I was going to use on my stretched ride but all extra projects are back burner for now. had a major breakdown on my tractor and got to funnel all extra cash to the replacement. Just thinking somebody might like them. They are listed on ebay and yes I am still moving around down here just can't find the light of day to get anything done.

This is a very good looking build......how do you think it would look with the extension done at half of what you did?  so  4 1/2"

[pd]

Maybe only half as very good looking ?

When creating , sometimes things have to be redone a couple of times before it's pleasing to the builders eye .

I like PD's answer!.  I chose the length to ensure I had enough room for a jack shaft set-up.

I thought you stretched it that much so Travis could ride it comfortably!  lol

I'm thinking about a 3" stretch on mine. But  may have to go more to get about a 53" wheel base.
