The only thing I don't like about converting a 3MA chassis is the big chunk you need to cut uot to make room for the kick start.

It is unnecessary to remove that big chunk of frame
unless you wish to remove the clutch with engine in frame
I reshaped the area and then had metal put back in just to be safe
Personally I do believe the 3 ma has many short comings
but for me over coming these was part of the challenge
Alex has the right idea and his frames are incredible
My hourly rate is zero when working on the 500 so I have the advantage of spending 4 years at no hourly cost for labour , others don't !

I was annoyed with this guys attitude , and to me it was he was trying to make money, but to slate what others have done without having done it himself is wrong and belittles all on this forum
Mediocrity is a sin !
