More progress. Most things need finish welding, plan is to get everything mocked up, get it running and tear down for finish welding. Then paint! Started the brake linkage and played around with the rear section. Going to order the throttle, clutch and brake levers. Also need to figure out a...

Little progress. Need to figure out the "gusset" for the hoop. Really dont want to add anything but I feel it needs something. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Got this build back on the stand. Working on getting shock mounted and rear sets wrapped up. Will post updates. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Thanks! The exhaust had no base just ordered some tube and started building. You will find that most of my build it like that. figure out a look/feel that I like and go with it. This build has been on the back burner lately. but have still been collecting parts.

Yeah tires are tricky. The set I have are decent. but definitely wanting to switch it up. Future plan is to re hoop these hubs.

Any thing new with these? My build has been on the back burner but still very interested in one of these!

Tank will stay. Might do knee dents if i get ballsy...

Got a chance to get the shock mocked up. Built some temporary brackets to see ride height and sag. Looks and feels pretty good.

Any updates? haven't been on here in awhile. Hoping to get back to my build shortly.

I'll take whatever i can get but i also would like to see it dropped in from the top.

Looks great. How is the Vapor held in?

Got the stem bearings replaced. Loose ball to tapered. Its soooo smooth now. Also made a steering stop since it didn't have one....... there's a factory stop welded to frame on the top and the tabs are on tbe bottom triple clamp. PO had welded on very riskey piece of square stock with a allen...

WOW. Looks awesome!

Another small update. Got the hoop welded on still needs side supports and shock mount. Got the forks pulled apart . Got the new spring in one of them and filled with oil. But I'm not sure I have the correct amount of fluid in them it seems like they come out of the oil when extended....

I assume you have a good "bulb" for your bucket? Im trying to find a "bulb". But survey says I'm going to remove the gauge portion and weld onto another bucket.

Awesome build!

I'll play. Yamaha YZ450F shock.

Not much of an update again but made some small progress. Started turning bungs to weld onto frame for rear-sets. Got the swingarm hoop bent. Also ordered some goodies. Progressive front springs, tapered roller stem bearings. Got a CB160 headlight off Ebay. That will be getting a custom mount...

Any updates?

Well not much of an update but here are some more pics of the exhaust. Header collars i turned from a solid on the lathe. Missed a dimension so i turned a small collar to bring the OD up a bit for the flange. I don't claim to be the best TIG welder but they will hold.
