chassis top rail has bowed outwards

<< < (3/3)

longtimeracer:
Thank you all for your comments, very helpful. I had the chassis front halved but now I'm worried about the front engine mounts. The chassis is slightly taller and narrower and so the old mounts do not fit. New mounts mean the plates are at a downward angle which worries as if the engine drops slightly in a wheelie they wont be rigid enough to stop the engine pushing the top rails out - again! I think the mounts should take a vertical load only to prevent this, especially as the saddle mount is hose clipped to the top rail(Micalor clip in fact) but I'm not a chassis pro. I'm thinking of having plates which pick up the water pump bolts as well as the lower air conditioning bolts and having the plates sit over the top rail. What do you guys think, am I overthinking this?

THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
I think your plate redesign reasons are sound and the issues are valid.
