Something new cooking up in the mad scientists lair...

[Billy Golightly]

103982 Hmmmmmmmmmm......... :D:twisted:

[swampthang]

Very interesting! Looks like a liquid r frame possibly making some kind of removable subframe?

[Billy Golightly]

Liquid cooled 250R...your somewhat on the right track :)

[audioworks04]

flip top subframe?

[Billy Golightly]

I'll give ya'll another teaser, hang on.

[Billy Golightly]

Oh what in the world could I be brewing up... :drool:

[krazykane]

maybe a set up for a newer swingarm

[skypilot]

Indepent rear suspension for atc? Maybe?

[84atc200]

Indepent rear suspension for atc? Maybe?

Thats exactly what i was thinking.

[Mosh]

I will venture 2 guesses.

A linkage kit for 450R Swingers?

Or some sort of lowering kit for flat trackers?

[Billy Golightly]

All good guesses so far! Keep them up...I'll give another teaser pic tomorrow.

[swampthang]

Wow i'm really confused on what it could be now!:wondering The only thing that i could see it being is some kind of one off missile bike conversion. Am I getting closer?

[thestud25]

Wow i'm really confused on what it could be now!:wondering The only thing that i could see it being is some kind of one off missile bike conversion. Am I getting closer?
That was my thought as well.

[Jason Hall]

I know exactly what It Is, but I won't spill the beans! We talked about this a couple years ago :naughty: Can't wait to see It done Billy.

[willrideanythin]

Im watching this closely. Im wanting it to be an arch swinger.

[NINJA]

Oh, I get it. That second pic is shows where the bicycle seat post slides in. A pedal trike!

[willrideanythin]

Pogo stick trike?

[Billy Golightly]

Oh, I get it. That second pic is shows where the bicycle seat post slides in. A pedal trike!

:lol::lol:


That certainly is a "creative" estimate, hahaha.

[Thorpe]

Liquid R Uni-Cycle?

[thestud25]

Come on BIlly, it is the next day. New hint, pic?

[mtsnieg]

:lol:Rear steering?

[Billy Golightly]

/me whistles a tune innocently

[Billy Golightly]

That should throw all the rear end ideas for a little bit of a loop :)

[thestud25]

I give up! You got me?!?!

[Billy Golightly]

Its not finished yet so I do not want to completely give it up. It shall be in just a few more days though.

[84atc200]

Is it going to have rear tracks and a ski front?

[thestud25]

Jig for swingarms!

[SWIGIN]

Looks like a frame jig....but new 250R frames aren't new to this section.

[dksix]

I was thinking maybe a jig for a future line of hy-tech trike frames.

[torker]

Well...geometry is definatelly involved.
Damn, I can't think of anything :wondering:wondering:wondering
Your killing us... A chopper R ??? :lol::lol:
TORKER.

[thestud25]

Hint, Hint, Hint??? More pics?

[Billy Golightly]

Too much work outside of the shop to post any new stuff for the time being guys. Maybe later this week.

[thestud25]

You're such a naughty tease!!!! LOL

[Hatchguy06]

Very interesting... wondering if some of the things in the background have to do with... I have a few ideas floating around...

[whitetail hunter]

I got it! your stretching the frame?

[Hatchguy06]

I got it! your stretching the frame?

that was exactly one of my thoughts...

[willrideanythin]

Does it make you feel big to tease the common folk in this way? Just tell them already. Screw it, I will.

You guys have heard of the Boss Hoss motorcycle right, Well this frame hes building will take the masive Chevy 350/305 power plant just like the bike does. Hes scared my 500 will be so fast he feel the power from Maine, So hes showing me, LOL.

[MagicJames]

Gyro Steering Stem?

[the great gazoo]

You all are WAAAAAYYYYYY off. It's a 250R that's reversed, you have the two wheels in front & the rear wheel steers it.

[atcrider1]

any updates????

[willrideanythin]

This cat still in the bag, WTH

[Billy Golightly]

I got some more teasers for ya'll, these are some doosies, :lol:

[Billy Golightly]

Damn, did I scare everyone off? lol

[yooperman]

Just read through the thread and was also thinking something to do with snow. Then seen your in florida so that thought was out of the question. So I'm wondering if somthing to do with riding in water? or turning into some sort of motorcycle set up. Give some more hints man

[Billy Golightly]

Well, its not for any specific type of terrain...more of a helper for certain, things :)

[thestud25]

I quit!!!!!

[Billy Golightly]

Its pretty much finished...I'll share some more pictures in a few days :)

[Sawfly]

adjustable ride height?
secondary suspension?
a place to hide things from the cops? (drugs, alcohol, stolen diamond rings)

[thestud25]

Its pretty much finished...I'll share some more pictures in a few days :)

Sounds good. If I can ever amass all the materials I need I will be cooking up a mad scientist build as well.

[harryredtrike]

air ride????come on billy,spill the beans.i bet i looked at your shield pics for 15 minutes.no help at all

[Billy Golightly]

105071



:wondering

[willrideanythin]

Now make one for the 490 power plant I have sitting waiting for you. Just need a Tri-Z and you.

[moonerdizzle]

I got some more teasers for ya'll, these are some doosies, :lol:



pretty sneaky this guy, lol, im totally confused as to what your making

[SWIGIN]

pretty sneaky this guy, lol, im totally confused as to what your making

I think I was right way back when I posted it's a frame jig.

[NINJA]

Finally, somebody is going to start playing around with the frame geometry. Can't wait to hear about your plans.

[Billy Golightly]

Yeah its a 250R frame jig. I know HRE did the full chromoly 250R frame, but we never seen any pictures of his fixture or anything. I'm building another 500 in this one right now, and when its done I've got a CR125 aluminum frame that I'll be able to start experimenting on and doing some different stuff. The adjustable steering neck, to change the rake on the frames is going to be really handy. The square tubing is 3inch, 5/16ths holes drilled and tapped on one inch centers allows me to move everything forward/backwards, and everything has been built elevated to slower frame rails can go in, that type of stuff. Spent a lot of time thinking about it, definitely not perfect but not bad for a first attempt I don't think at building one.

[shortline10]

Very nice Billy :drool::drool:

[Billy Golightly]

You know I *could* make some replica oldschool 90/110 frames with this....:naughty:

[harryredtrike]

put me down for an aircraft aluminium frame hows your TIG work

[NINJA]

Yay, I figured it out. Do I get a cookie?

[Texas 200x]

When can I get one of these Golightly frames? You might get a huge demand off of here!!! Keep up the good work and definitely keep us posted!!!

[Shorty]

ATC90/110 dickson lopro frames!!! You got a buyer here! OR Square box ASW aluminum atc 110 frames. :D

[shortline10]

:wondering Now you really got my intrest :Bounce :beer .




You know I *could* make some replica oldschool 90/110 frames with this....:naughty:

[Shorty]

Oh and I forgot bring up.......Chromo or aluminum 86 350x frames with motor mounts intergrated for ??-08 crf450r motor's:naughty::naughty:. With adjustable rake too:idea::p:D

[thestud25]

Count me in on a 90/110 frame if the price is right!

[dma550]

250R frame to bolt up a 450 4 stroke, sign me up too! Nice work. I was going to vote something with a single ski and track rear before as I was reading through the thread.

[Vealmonkey]

You won't be able to make an ASW frame in a jig like this. And where would he get the dimensions anyway? No one has asked for any dimensions from me, and I've got the only one I've ever seen. LOL Also, I'm not sure how his frame table is. Alot of tables need a frame to make jigs off of and I don't think Billy has too many 90 frames to make jigs from. I think Billy would be better off making his own custom 90 frame and building those. Also, before I forget, I believe SWIGIN was the first to mention a frame jig.

[Billy Golightly]

Yeah SWIGIN mentioned frame jig/fixture first. He's the lucky guesser!

The way mine is setup, I pretty much need a frame to fixture in all the positions first, and then I can build to those points and duplicate them. So I'd pretty much need whatever I was going to build, first.

I *do* have a really cool idea I haven't put on the fixture yet that would make it EXTREMELY easy to do engine swaps into 250R frames (Or anything else with 250R geometry...)

[Billy Golightly]

Now, this isn't to say that I can't/won't be able to build a frame from scratch with my own geometry, but its better to experiment and work off of other designs as I'm learning and going about it.

[atctim]

Awesome Billy! Great idea too.

[SYKO]

cant wait till you do something with at Aluminum frame finaly!

[NINJA]

Also, before I forget, I believe SWIGIN was the first to mention a frame jig.
Sorry, I was drunkhttp://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-confused013.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

[Billy Golightly]

Well I finished my first 500R conversion frame on the new jig and shipped it back to its owner today. Really happy with how it turned out and how much easier it really has made working on and doing things. I've got the initial time invested to make the jig and all the fixture points, but It has definitely been a time saver already on the actual fabrication work.

[Bretmd94]

Very nice! Now just make a counter balance for that 500 and I will take 2!

[SUPERBEAST]

Very nice! Now just make a counter balance for that 500 and I will take 2!

a counterbalanced 500 has already been done

[Dirtcrasher]

^ And it was plenty of work, just ask Mart!

[tri-Z ripper]

I love reading these threads! its like the gift of trike future knowing my kids will have a trike to ride when they are older!
