cb350 supercharged drag bike : 02

We decided building the frame would be the best option since the supercharger location would be impossible to work with the stock frame. To get started required collecting all of the suspension and wheels so we could figure out how to piece it together.

The front end will be off an xr75 with an xr80 neck and bearings.



The front wheel is an old 17" spoolie chopper wheel a member had laying around with bearings swapped out to fit the xr75 axle, and machined aluminum axle spacers.



For the rear a Honda xl350 rear rim laced to the stock cb350 hub. Holes drilled for rim locks.



M-H vintage drag slick.





All of the parts in the same space to figure out where the frame tubing will go.











A little sketching here and there.



Getting the basic dimensions and angles figured out for the frame. None of this is set in stone, but for the most part how things will lay out. Axle plates are 17mm version A from here http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6077. The frame will be 1" tubing for everything but the backbone which will be 1 1/2".





This isn't the final rendering, but close to what we are trying to achieve.



I now have the majority of materials needed to start putting it all together, so the next post should be jig construction.
