Questions about Frames

FM Former Member
To All,

I have just started to research Speedsters and will probably start the whole process in the next 6 months. So, I have lots of questions which this web site has been extremely helpful in answering!

One question I do have is about frames. Does anyone have any insight on stiffening a pan frame? Maybe by boxing the frame or adding exta support to the pan in various areas. Or is it best just to start out with a tubular frame? My goal is to have 120-150 hp with pretty good handling that I could run on the highway every once in a while (70-80 mph) and feel confident in my build.

Also, what other web sites are out there that would be helpful at the beginning stages of a possible speedster build?

Thanks,
Dave
