I think I have enough contacts to make a "kit" for something like this -
http://www.spartanframeworks.com/Forks/Girders.shtmlIts not going to be welded but will require minimal welding, and it may be a bit open to shock choice/rake choice caliper location - BTW that design IMHO is likely to break at a few of those welds. As good a welder is, if they leave a weld open to pure shear like the tops of the springs IMHO is a disaster waiting to happen.
I'll build it so the thing will stay in place even if there were no welds - almost 100% bolted together. Cos I am an engineer - a civil engineer and not a welder.
I'd also like to get it completely adjustable for rake and wheel base with just shock and dog bone choice.
I'll also try to build it around an easy to find used shock, like a Katana 600 so you have a lot of applicable swappers cos all rear shocks off nearly all monoshock bikes made ad-nauseum will fit with minimal dog bone mods.
And dog bones being adjustable with many holes will do it some real good too.
This is a good product that's missing a few easy options and complicates a few things unneccessarily.
Cool.
