Google motorcycle chassis design by Tony Foale lots of tips in there he suggests using an old lathe bed. If you are contemplating making a chassis I think a jig should be withing your capability.

There's plans out there, and on the chop forums. One of them needs a bit of machining in addition to the headstock cones. Mine may be up for sale soon, not sure yet. Financial crisis but am fighting off the prospect of flogging the sucker, and a tube bender.
A mate made his own similar to mine, only machining was the cones.

Big flat steel table loads of angle weld the jig as you need it. Other mates use a rsj 200x200mm with a box 100x100 vertical at the front - weld a tab on the headstock clamp to box and cut off tab when you have finished. Simple and strong is good, there is no need to get complicated unless you are going into production. making the jig is part of the fun.

Thats what I used for my sidecar jig rsj and box for bracing I also made the steering head adjustable.
