Got the cage framework done. Hated the look of the original with it's single angled-out front and rear cross bar and nothing at all overhead. Goofy looking and unsafe.

Didn't want a series of straight cross tubes, otherwise the whole thing would look like a bent up ladder. Cut the angles off one cross bar and ran it across the front, added another straight tube at the rear and used the other angled cross bar to go down the center. Gave it a bit of support and a better look with a couple tubing leftovers from a work project. Up front i may cut off the bent tube at the center and give it an arrow point treatment to match the top.

Also added the seat support tubes to the bottom, of course none of the originals matched where i need to mount the seat.

Swingarm mounts are also finished. Used a piece of light angle iron across the back to provide a flat surface and added meat to the rear tube. Rear shocks land right on the primary tube junction. I'll likely make a high and low mount point.
