lots of progress the coils came in tonight,

EXPECT PICTURES

 

Nice work! Excited to see how this turns out.

 

sweet , i'v been thinking about doing one of these too

 

update on the filters and some of the paint











i still have to paint the letters on the tank

 

looks good. i have to scrap the idea of 750 build. he wants too much for it.

 

that's going to be NICE! good looking colors

did you paint or powdercoat the battery trey? mine on my xs650 was corroded to hell with a leaky battery.

 

im actually going to buy a new one or fab one up, and place it under the seat.
it will be powdercoated like the rims.

the rims are going to be gold or back i havent decided yet, with gold/black rim tape

 

update on the paint:
here's the tank, almost done.
pretty proud of it.



im not done with any of the pieces, but its coming together.







Update on the tank:



------------

SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT THE PAIN IN THE ***.

HINT HANDLEBARS.
HINT *^&(*&^)(^(*kuhbelfkWNFLEGM';RER;BKM CRAP

cables through the bars is a pain in the a$$

 

alright ladies, here's a mock up so far with the mods:



handlebars were a pain with the wire routing



made a hole to let the cables out



clubmans



------------------------

MOCK UP








pretty sure imma ditch those grips,
not the "gold" i was looking for.
waiting for the tail, then its down to the electrical

 

good. that's where i was kind of going with it - it needs to be powdercoated for the extra protection... but with that said, newer batteries seal better so maybe not...


curious - have you ever road the bike with the orig. handle bars? i had the originals on my xs650, and when i put clubman bars on mine - holy hell, it made an amazing difference. it feels so much more planted. you'll love it if you're used to riding newer bikes


and it looks great. i'm lovin' this build.
