Why did you do that? :o[/quote] It's a test fitting jig. It's easier than with a complete bike since it's light enough to be moved around and set on a work bench. We needed the belt drive pulleys in tact to test things like the clearance of the belt guard and rearset brackets at different suspension travel lengths. We also use it to test fit tanks (tanks and tank mounts are stamped and sold as matching pairs to ensure a proper fit). |

Wow, I didn't think it weighed that much! A Triumph 650 unit twin only weighs 130 and by BSA 500 single weighed 96! |
