trackin xv750

I was checking out your builds after you posted a comment on my Tracker build. Really great work. I am a fan of this XV because I have a XV920R that I started, but it got put on hold a bit to do the XS. I will start a thread on my XV soon. Some good inspiration here to keep both my projects going at once. Look forward to seeing your finished creations.

thanks man, should have some updates here in a week or so when i roll out to pick up the bike.
 
you may be an idiot but i don't have to true any wheels as you've done it already, so it looks *twice* as good. Where'd you take it?
 
this guy here in town where I had some pipes bent up for my 450.. he actually texted me looking for a front cb550 wheel.. well I didn't have the wheel but I had some parts that could assemble one, so we just bartered. he did a good job, didn't scratch the nipples on the wheels so I was happy about that.
 
one hell of an update! well i finally got back out to ken hosfords this weekend to pick up the ole xv, was pretty excited to see how it finished up.. got there relatively early and spent the afternoon making/welding in the rear subframe, braces, supports, and the tank riser hoop.. i must say, i am absolutely content with the way things came together. i love the tail, and the subframe is really simplistic and works perfect. pictures below. now i just need exhaust and a headlight!

"absolutely content" is the weakest compliment i have ever heard. Anyway having seen it I can say that it is breathtakingly sufficient.

(seriously though it is very very cool)
