[QUOTE="backlander, post: 135735, member: 2035"] Work is progressing on Atila, going thru and repairing the left and right hand controls, someone did a hack job wiring around some of the switches instead of replacing them. [ATTACH type="full" alt="WP_20141114_010.jpg"]10328._xfImport[/ATTACH] These are the cuts I've decided to make to rake the neck, giving credit to HOTT's build of Ol' Sparky for the ideas [url=https://www.ngwclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=30651&hilit=Ok%27+sparky]https://www.ngwclub.com/forum/viewtopic. ... %27+sparky[/url] . I had to modify it some being that I'm raking a 1200 frame which is slightly different but the principle is the same. Bottom of neck brace will be cut half way through, leaving the top radiator cross tube undisturbed. This will allow the head to fold backwards without allowing it to loose it's original position. [ATTACH type="full" alt="WP_20141116_001.jpg"]10329._xfImport[/ATTACH] Top to bottom rail brace will be severed on both sides at the bottom and will be trimmed to be rewelded to rail once the correct rake angle has been reached. [ATTACH type="full" alt="WP_20141116_005.jpg"]10327._xfImport[/ATTACH] The two side neck braces will be cut 3/4 way through to allow the neck to fold in a down and back direction.
