Benjie sent me a couple pictures of the final product should be ready to ship this week. I am getting kinda scared as to how much modding i will need to do to get this XS650 kit mounted on my xs400... only time will tell
Benjies parts have shipped, should have them early next week. Installed the 14.5" shocks from Dime City and that gives me way more room between the massive rear tire and seat hoop, should be enough clearance now with my 200 lbs carcass sitting on it.
Well the fiberglass tank and seat arrived today. Bad news is the tank doesnt fit on the xs400 triple spar frame. Some real modifications are going to need to take place now i guess ;(
No going back now. Hacked the frame in multiple places to level out the two side tubes, its the only way this tank is going to work. Going to be a lot of welding but I think in the end it just might work. Since I had to hack the motor mount tubes I am going to try and drill holes in the side frame rails and run bolts through the motor mount. Also need to figure out where I am going to mount the ignition coils. This just went from a big project to an FML huge project.
Well still plugging away at the frame mods. Welded the tank / seat mount in, got the electronics pan ready to go and relocated the ignition coils to the front. Now on to getting the electronics to fit under the seat, easier said than done... Here is some updated pics:
Modified original Gauge Cluster mount to hold just the Speedo. Thinking i might bring it a bit closer to the ignition switch and lower it just a bit more.
Exhaust powder coated, and i picked up a 1970 Honda CL350 for my next project. I want to make a Girl with the dragon tattoo clone bike. The pic makes it look better than it is ! Very rough shape.
Well my painter snapped these pics, Unfortunately I wanted "Corvette Cyber Grey Metallic" Not the same silver as I used on my CB350F. Its a shame cause the paint looked so good ! He is going to redo it in cyber grey so hopefully in the end it will be killer.
