Having problems with message search?
I would simply add to that: why not tack-weld it in place for testing... Then grind the welds off if you need to move it.
Testing will go quickly. You'll know what you want after just a few short trial rides, then you can weld it in place and you're done. Start with it in the longest position you can imagine, and then the ground parts of the tackweld would end up on the inside and not visible once you are done.

Subject: [Flevofan] Re: wanting to build 20/20Thanks for the input everyone. I have an observation about the build
that I'd like to get some feedback on.
I'm thinking of how best to get all the front end parts to line up so
the geometry comes out the way you want it especially if using
suspension. If I use 1.5" square tubing for the front I could use a
slightly larger tube that could slide the length of it. I could weld
the pivot point for the swingarm and the connection point for the
shock on this larger tube and temporarily clamp it in place along the
front tube. I could test ride and adjust, test ride and adjust until I
find the right position. Then I would remove the larger tube and weld
the connection points to the smaller front tube. I hope this is not
confusing.
