Nice parts there.  :)

Munnyella:
Is the flex that bad?

Don't do it for looks.

I'm no engineer but I would have thought the blue sections would need a 3rd arm to form a triangle to impart any sort of rigidity  ???

snoopy72:
I would say it has normal amounts of frame flex, my 1980 supergoose had quite a bit infact replicating a gate start it's just looking at it the bb is along way away from the tubing, don't want to have a case of power stroke, not giving any warning and breaking the frame , the weakest parts of the frame will be the welds where the 2 tubes fit to the bb.
Seeing as it has such a nice nickel finish and the frame breaking is repairable but will destroy the plating, so do I do it as a precaution or leave it alone ?
It may also go the other way in making it break at those points because i've clamped them to the bb, if anyone comes up with a solution or just to leave well alone, i'm all ears, I know it looks a bit of an after thought but it saves adding more steel to the frame and it will still look like a mongoose underneath it all.
