Giving the Yam a Nip and Tuck

Work on the subframe has begun, fist steps were to smooth down all of the lugs where previous bars and mounts had been cut off. Then sloppy welds were smoothed over. An L section bar was welded across the back to make it rigid. This may act as a mounting spot for the brake light which will be a unit off of a Yam yzf 125 r.

This is andys over head welding which was a tad messy but air tight which is all that counts.

This is TIG welding at its best no filler rod just heat continuous seam of even welds.

The plastic under tray was chopped to make it flush with the subframe this will improve the lines of the bike and make it appear slimmer.

The undertray is bolted to the subframe at the rear and the front. The next step is to make a rear bump stop for the seat and start to make templates for the ally panels either side of the subframe.
