Well, the Fox is now just an ordinary tadpole again. Because the seat was moved back, I had room to get on and off from the side, so I switched to OSS to make installing the throttle and shifters easier. But the crossmember was too far forward, so I made a new one at a sharper angle, which worked out great. Now all I have to do is cut the original crossmembers so there's 5" from the head tubes, stick some angle iron on each side and mate them to the new crossmember. I also have to make an extra long steering tube, put a steering tab on it, and make two short tie rods. From there I'll install the 8 speed hub wheel and test it. I put a piece of pipe that fit perfectly in the BB tube on the triangle, and will stick flange bearings on each end for the tailbox pivot. I'll have some pics tomorrow.
