Hand made first T!



Im starting to get back into the XS750 with a little bit here and there. I tried my hand in hand made headlight brackets. First I hacked up a pipe to rough dimensions and cut a gap in the tube. This was they can be tightened to the fork tube. Then I made two brackets to weld to the tube for tightening. I clamped the two rectangle pieces of metal on top of each other and heated the piss out of them. All I had to do them was shaped them on a same diameter pipe with a bad ass hammer (pictured below). Then you have perfect shaped brackets. Drill the holes and weld them in place. Ugly but it works. Next I want to make the headlight brackets that attach to the these tube brackets. Im going for the bad ass look maybe...
