So I wanted to have enough progress to be able to start my build thread with lots of pics up front so you don't have to look through 12 pages of banter to see whats going on so here goes:
As purchased:
After about an hour of dis assembly and throwing on some spares:
Obviously initially I was thinking cafe, this is technically for my girl and she didn't like the clubmans and wanted to be able to ride 2-up so it turned towards a bratstyle build pretty quickly.
Sourced an XS360 tank:
Made a rear frame loop:
MX Bars:
4.5" headlight:
Aluminum seat pan:
Walmart camping pad: idea from one of you blokes, thanks!
Custom seat cover fabbed up from an eBay guy for $30 (not stretched and glued/ riveted yet):
Next up is thorough cleaning and painting/ polishing, simplify the wiring and rig up a tail light and I have an 18" rear disc brake wheel that I'll probably swap out. Quick and dirty this go around.
I keep telling my girlfriend this is for her, but I think she's on to me! ;D
