SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi, bike restorer of 25 years, hoping to step up with an outside the box (for me) build and seeking inspiration, tech assist and bling. Based in Australia I'm a builder of parts as we have few suppliers of non standard parts.
I can just imagine any bike cringing at your shop doorway...any who have entered have not been the 'same' when they exit...... subscribed and watching.....

They only square certain points of the frames like the motor mounts and trans mounts. The rest will be just thrown in there to meet these points in there jigs.
Then if you have a bike that has been wrecked then the frame can be totally out of whack! The last build I did was that way! I believe it had been dropped on every side of the frame and was so far out!
Finding the centerline of the engine is the part on some bikes that may be tricky! You have to use your head on that.
