Hi Gerryjunior,yep plenty of trial and error

Did you use the front part of the LD frame tube ?

NEON ?? its all LEDs now ! .......not to sure how i want it to look in the end ? dont think ill be able to lower it much more though

no mine's a gp frame , i did try marrying a series 3 back end with the ld front , i still have it , but i wasnt happy with it, i wanted 10" wheels and a disc front so it made more sense to use gp with gp forks..

Just had another look at your Ld ish thread i see you used s1/2 leggies and footboards, thats cheating ! lol

Getting the loop into a good position and with the clearance for the top shock mount is the first problem.

The next consideration is the legshields, in relationship to the loop. Most conversions ive seen use a fabricated bridge piece, i wanted to try and do it as the ld was done, without . The loop needed cutting

and leg shields needs altering and extended a little.

Interestingly , well at least to me the holes in the ld leggies line up with the (in my case ) S2 floor struts

Most people ive talked too have used an Ld tube forward of the bridge area, i couldnt understand why ? plus its easier (for me) to use a "normal" tube..... Perhaps its because the angles are slightly different ? a few cuts seemed to make them fit.



Once i got the leggies positioned i could level the loop up and tack it on

WARNING !!! dont look at my welding ! ...as you may have noticed from the surroundings in the pics , wood is my material not metal ....ill get a professional to weld it up properly

yes i cheated , i had the series 2 stuff in the hedge behind my garage so i used what i had..ld hornncover took a lot of grinding to fit ,, yours is coming along nicely..

Nice project I am considering a similar project.
Am i right in thinking you have welded a LD loop onto a series 2 frame?
