The support of the saddle

For my scrambler Kawasaki 440 I want a flat saddle , slightly raised at the back and curved loop width that is slightly narrower front.
Buy a 1 meter tube diameter of 25mm DIY-supermarket on the corner.

I severs into two, it is these two 50cm tubes that will be the seat of the saddle. To come and weld on the frame at the tank I have bending. I filled with sand, mouth ends and attack this bending torch the tube stuck in a vise. I do not perform the operation at once but gradually by slightly shifting the tube on the vise every time.

for the second tube and I check their position on the frame.

I (re) constitutes the support of the saddle as it will in the end with the loop back, the reinforcement on the suspensions, the battery holder and the fastener reservoir (all of these recovered from the former structure).

I to socket tubes with 20mm diameter to weld the rear loop ...

.. then I weld it slightly upward bias. I remain attached to the rear of the loop can be me she will serve as support for the mudguard and / or the number plate

I soda all over the frame.

And finally I position and soda attaches the tank. Ditto for the battery carrier and the reinforcing tube on the suspensions.
