Hi
I am trying to draw this simple motorcycle frame but an struggling with the mates to connect the front to the rear of the bike with some tube. I have tired different things.
When I connect the second tube it automatically wants to make it parallel with the first and I would like it tapered
If you have the time look at revision 1 and you will see what I mean.
I am sure there is a simple solution I just can not work it out at the moment.

use a ball mate instead of fastened, it has more degrees of freedom
