    As far as the foot controls my main issue is the fact that there is no lower section of a frame the original foot pegs go through the main engine mount underneath the transmission which kind of puts my feet too far back
    my only other option is to somehow mounted to the front down tube of the frame but I’m not sure if I want to do it like that.....
    Can you bolt peg mounts onto metal plates, then bolt the plates to your front engine mounting plates? You could build the plates to curve around under the engine with pegs located below the primary chain tensioner pivot. Just need to work around those yet to be modified TT pipes...kinda like I did on my Norton (pegs into a plate bolted to engine plate):

    why can't you make that riser work for a chain tensioner? Put a bronze split sleeve around the tube, bore out hole for slide fit, and old small #50 sprocket and a spring...

      BTW there's no electrical reason you couldn't partially submerge a flanged bearing (or anything else) in plain water to keep the rest of the part cool during welding. Stick a loose vise etc in a tub of water, weld, then remove and blow dry part and vise. If in doubt about the seals, coat with grease or RTV first to prevent water intrusion. I use RTV to seal wheel bearings (along with an allthread dummy axle and flat washers) for wheel sand blasting and powder coating. Peels right off when done.[/QUOTE]

      I was thinking flange for the self aligning. I know you have a mill and a lathe but most don't. When Welding with something that needs protecting from heat I usually, tie , clamp, hold etc. a wet rag whole lots less hassle than submerging.

      Razorrichter,
      Why not just build something that clamps to the lower frame rail that has the hole for the controls. Are the bottom tubes the same size at where you have the riser clamped? If so maybe drill a hole and saw off the extra?

        I’m glad you say that I was thinking about that and now seeing yours I feel like I could get away with it for sure that will be the plan then as far as the tensioner I think I’m going to try and tackle that we’ll see what I can make happen

            From the pics it appears there's enough room underneath to fab a subframe and weld it to the existing frame or make it removable. If it's removable that would be easiest to work on. You might pick up the front mount plates and whatever that rear bolt (appears to be a through-bolt) is below/behind the engine.

            You don't have to use tubing for the subframe or all the subframe. Flat bar could tuck in close.

                      Running but far from done

                      Took it to torque fest but needs a lot before I’d call it doneish
