'kin 'ell that's bastard ugly! the wrong kind of ugly
Right then it ain't happening, time for a bash on Paint to see what looks ok, I need it working for the weekend so I'll have to work with what I've got lightage wise. The bates ain't happening 'cos 1, It looks shit and (more importantly) 2, It's worse than f#cking useless so that just leaves the cg125 lamp then :/
After several long boring hours trying random shapes I've stumbled upon this quite conventional shape, not my first choice by a f#cking mile but it's the only thing that looks balanced.

Changing to that shape not only requires a fair bit fabrication but posed quite a few unforseen problems:
Ok first off lets look at the subframe, I'm making one that requires only 7 bits of tube, that way it keeps the cutting to a minimum. This is even more important than usual as the neighbours are in, so I will have to do the cuts with a hand saw and I can't be f#cking arsed.

The bits were held together with a combination of terrible welding and rubbish I had laying about.
Then clamped to the back of the bike:
Then made it a twin and welded a top tube on to hold them together, this will also be handy to grab onto if I need to move the bike about.
Then just added the seat rails, job done!
