| So today I got stuck in, manufactured whole new steering set up. It's now got 2 tie rods brand new steering arm bracket and spindle holders. I've remanufactured the seat support to sit 150mm lower than standard. Next will be my 2 piece seat and mounting my fuel tank. My idea is to keep this thing as cheap as possible by building everything I can from scrap steel and parts I have laying around so here goes. | |

| thanks guys ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) I've been busy again today, fixing up little things and plug welding all of my unwanted holes, sanding the frame back and I've run 1" box steel up the frame to make it a little more rigid. I'm sweating my balls off as its 35 degrees Celsius here ![Sad](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_sad.gif) I hate welding in the heat lol | |

| I've never seen the snow before, it's either to hot to wear clothing or just cool enough to put a long sleeve shirt on. I'm jealous lol | |

| They were pretty easy to understand for the most part, but there was definitely some word confusion... Example: they were weirded out by my ordering a pitcher of beer. The appropriate word is apparently a jug. | |
