Sprocket support


I've not been able to make much progress with the bike recently, largely because i'm waiting on a few parts before i can move on.
Bodywork is next on the agenda, and i've long since abandoned making my own, it's just too much work. Instead I've had one made from a mould, it's ready and just needs collecting.

One of the parts i have done is a sprocket support plate, it's been designed, waterjet cut, test fitted and machined for the bearing holder and crank seal.
The design was too 'curvy' to do on the mill, so it went to K-cut, where John was as helpful as ever, firstly fixing my troublesome CAD file, then cutting me a wooden one to test fit first, and finally cutting ally one.



Found time to do some footpegs too!
