Hi Everyone,
I just noticed this DQ Board and I decided I would share what I have been working on in the last year. I bought a 75 Yamaha XS500B towards the end of the summer this last year. $200. Look decent but needed alot of TLC. Needless to say the bike was sitting and the clutch cable and throttle was broke so I could not fire it up, but the engine did turn. Since then I took it home a tore it completely apart. Thus begins the Cafe Racer build.
This last weekend I just got the frame back from powder and started putting all the bits and pieces together that I worked on during the off season. Engine still not tested.... Looks great on the inside, but still praying for no problems.
Here are some pictures of the build so far. Let me know whatcha think and I will be glad to keep you posted. See link for HQ Photos and Video
