The Chopper Compendium

heres a pic just to confirm the angle between rake line and down tubes is 45 degrees using 2 square edges then measuring the result angle. This neck casting is the same one used on short frames and 101 frames. Rake is set based on the position the neck cast is set in the original factory frame jig. ...

Ive been hunting down early frame rakes , trying to get correct rake for 1926 scout. Ive measured 22 - 23 degrees but need to be bang on , they use these frames in the wall of death ,because of the geometry and I dont want to stuff it. Frames bent to start with . ffs!! the servicar from seat post fo...

This frame here is not Indian dimensions but still a classy design , plans are for sale for custom bike. Its a good concept to have a frame to suit 741 motors Thanks for taking the time to post this. I was looking online for a few minutes. http://bastybikes.blogspot.ca/2013/07/new-indian-project-mix...

Ive got 25 scout cases and 101 cases plus trans case Ive measured 1925 = 11.4295" long x 3.525" high , centre pedastal mount holes to centre trans mount hole 101 = 15.15625" long x 3.150" high , centre thru bolt mount hole to cetre trans mount hole these measurements are MINUS th...

Ive got a 26 frame that I have to derust ,straighten , measure , ideally rebuild....experts recommend straighten then braze FILL!!! my main reason for measuring everything and hunting for any info and continuing to do so. Id prefer to replace the tubing as indians rust from inside out also. early ax...

101 rear axel plates are also used on 741 . (source indian parts europe , Im yet to confirm measurement) 640 is longer than 741 , longer legs set the axel plate up higher which lowers the bottom rail of frame . I havent seen any info saying that there were 2 separate axel plate casts. (640 vs 741) e...

I have been trying to track down as much info as possible and dump on the net . not every one is loaded and shopping for top dollar bikes , I think its great theres creative people in the human race who want/need to make their own set of wheels its about the only thing that separates us from the ani...

another pic of wheel base .
at some stage Ill get frame measurements. Theres no info on the net = hold outs!

Yea its not the whole frame . I measured off the paper version , the scan version plays with my eyes this is the same neck cast as early short frame scout = corrections made to list fork rake is 25* rake axis to down tubes = 45* down tubes to top rail = 70* top rail to rake axis = 65* down tubes = 2...

he wants to know what frame to order. http://rbracing-rsr.com/rakeandtrail.html http://americansuspension.com/ at $4700 Id expect them to do calcs and send so an engineer, possibly of their choice, can mod their forks , its their product on show do choppers these days have 23" wheel ? I thought...

surely Am suspension know the situation / time frame and could give calculations in order to cut the fork and tubes .
its their product on a potential rolling advertisement

jesus thats a beautiful looking frame . seems a shame to cover it with tank . not my bike but 2 side tanks below top rail level wouls help give it room to view it. brush finish ?
axle plates are lookers too
