Yep, had to rework the bike and do it on a nearly empty stomach. Very difficult to think straight!

This says yes http://wiki.dtonline.org/index.php/Calculating_Forces_in_Beams#VectorsI have read differing views on the following method. Bathroom scales under front wheel, back wheel on block same height, balance bike with steady hand on handle bar after pulling upright from slight lean on wall. repeat for back wheel. Add two totals. The question is, can the result be true?
100 Greenbacks on Fleabay USA, marketed at hot rodders. Looks like ND but has no markings, made in China I suspect.I see that you are using the same alternator that I have been fitting recently for the 'Walkernator'. I drive it at double engine speed on twins to ensure that it starts to charge at low revs. I also use a multi vee belt drive to take out some of the shock loads which are inherent to the standard Vincent dynamo drive. I could not mount my system as low as yours because of the standard gearbox top and yours looks very neat, Once you have it on the road I will be interested to learn about its performance with regards to shock loading the primary drive and low speed charging cut in speed.
of more interest/alarm is that AMC boxes have difficulty handling 850 torque let alone 1300cc (1100cc in my case) and there I was looking forward to a summer of lurve once the bike is back together.
