Summary:
  • Designed and hand-fabricated a complete custom motorcycle frame from scratch, progressing from initial drawings to a ridable prototype
  • Developed a notch technique for precision fitment and weld alignment on critical frame joints and suspension pivots
  • Used hand-cut plasma techniques to fabricate frame tubes, suspension pivot brackets, motor mounts, and brake disc mounts
  • Achieved correct chain line alignment by iteratively fitting suspension pivots and caliper mounts before final welding
