SELF INTRODUCTION: I'm just an old chopper builders who still dabbles in the craft and I hope that I can contribute something to the discussions as time goes by. Most of you already know that I started the Chopper Builders Handbook site so you're probably already familiar with my philosophy on choppers and chopper work.

This turned out really nice, and I think, pretty darn original as well.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

That tubing arrangement on the rear section is unusual too me, looks really strong.

bob that setup is actually the weak setup. he should have ran the from the seat post back to the axle plate then added in the vertical tube. he has the top of the axle block and tube now pushing a short length of tubing horizontally into the vertical tube. it will work but i would have rather he did it another way.

good point about the stresses from the axle plate going into the other tubing.
I took a second look, and you're right.
