40 Degrees and more warm days to come!

Still hammerin alongon this tank and it seems to actually start looking like a gas tank. Thanks Kip for the bit of knowledge, I have been keeping to the hammer and torch. It does take a long time but it involves more hands on bending. Lots of hammer makes though. I'm thinking I will smooth out the tank with bondo in the end.

Then I took the bike out in the sun photo a little fun in the sun. I went into Cycle and talked to Rob about putting a XS650 motor in this XS750 frame and it might be harder than I thought. I need to redesign a swing arm with chain adjusters and new mounting for the engine. It might be easier to get a 650 frame and engine in one. Rob says that could be around $300. Nice.

Thanks to Hutch I now am the proud owner of CB350 wheels. Lets see if I can make them fit on this thing.

Working the XS

Winter is here and I'm cutting everything that is near.... My next project is under way with my old XS. I also have been practicing welding. I made a hard tail out of this XS. Its lowered about 3 inches, but it makes a lot of difference. I also lowered the front end a bunch too. Haven't decided what to do totally yet, but I think its coming to me...maybe in a dream.

O and if you lower anything, you have to hack the kickstand. Completely remade the stand, awesome, and relocated the spring.
