Here is the link to the original drawing. If you go to the choppers link on the home page then scroll down to "project chopper" then they are on the very bottom of the page of "Part 2".

I made about 12 sets of forwards and used those drawings for the mounts. The only problem I ran into was even when printed at full size I had to elongate the bottom hole, the bottom hole in the drawing was about 1/4 inch off location to line up with the motor mounts. After the first couple of sets, I drew a new pattern and automatically put an elongated hole in the bottom to ease installation.

good point, lambchop; you need to make sure that the 1" square box is actually 1" x 1".

FYI: If you use the JPG file that Constriktor posted, you'll need to enlarge that picture 222% to make it full size. Just print it out and...

sorry big sexy - i wasn't paying attention when i posted the links. the tube does clear the filter, and takes out all flex.

oceanite - i found the autocad file that i used to have my brackets machined, i will email it to you. the brackets worked great. I had to ream the mount holes out a little bit, and space out the bottom on the brake side and the top on the shift side. (the mounts are not on the same plane) There is no flex what so ever.

74rat and Damien,
Sure send me any info or patterns you have. Tigman made the mounts but wouldn't weld them to the frame because he didn't know what exhaust I'm going to use. So I can use any help I can get.

Thanks again

Bill

Here is what i did with the banana style mounts. I made them both the same, and ran tubing through both sides.

If you want the autocad file, drop me a line, i am sure i can find it somewhere.

Hell, all I did was cut a piece of cardboard and put it up again the back of the frame and trace the lines down. Once I got the first cut done, I just kept going until I got the shape I was looking for. They turned out like in LRT drawing except I made them the same for both sides.

I also used 1/4 inch metal, not to bad for the first time (another set will be made in next winter). Easy to do with the cardboard and play with it than messing with the metal.

I maybe be off...

I have them drawn to my specs in an autocad file. they are similar to the ones in tommy's bucket. I will try and find the file, and post some photos of how i am using them on my bike. I had Kevin Baas of baasmetalcraft.com do mine.

RIGHT NOW...I am feverishly (SP?.LOL)..working on mounting forwards using them plates..I have an extra one laying around that I use for a pattern..if you want, I could measure it out, and get back with ya..
My cutting tourch tip is about shot, so I had my local welding shop cut the plates out for me..which, just to add a little on that...my bro that works there was gone on a month long off site service job, so I had to have some new guy cut them out, Turns out he cant cut any better then...

I just need the plates. I'm putting big twin forwards on my frame and was looking to maybe mount the mounts to something like those.

Thanks J

Tat2guy was making complete forwards with those mounts for like $75 or so. See if you can contact him.

There used to be a post in the garage section with a pattern for forward control mounts. They kinda looked like a boomerang with a hole in each end. I have searched the entire board and can't seam to find it. Could someone point me to it please?

Second, Does anyone know of anyone making these?

Thanks
