Never been a fan of these xv´s till i got surfing the caferacer sites.
Here is one i found at pipeburn the other day,might be of some inspiration.
Keep up the good work!
For me, I love the bulk of the V-twin.. LOVE IT! Just a massive... in your face piece of Art! I would love just to have the engine in my basement near my pool table just to look at!
But im not much for the blacked out engines. I feel it takes the attitude out of it.
I like Ground Aluminum. I think it got more edge and attitude! After all for me Attitude is what the bike needs to exude!
So what if its not the fastest or the cleanest ! As long as its got the Tude!
So, now I need to get the tank weilded and grind off the parts on the sub frame, and try and figure out how to get that all together so it flows with the lines of the bike and looks non hack!
Good news, found a local guy to weld the tank for me...... Thats one step closer.
I just need to figure out the best idea for a subframe. Wondering if I should go from scratch or try and rework the orginal sub frame that came with the bike.
I did grind off the lower part of the sub frame already.! Suppose I can post that!
Love the father son project! There aren't too many of those on the site as most of us have young children. I can't wait til mine is a bit older so we can do a bike together. He's only just turned 5, but he loves bikes and talks about having a garage full of cool motorcycles when he's a grown-up. Ha! Atta boy. I originally bought an XV with the intention of building a Englebert Zero bike. I've since gone in a different direction, but I follow all the XV builds religiously. Good luck and have fun with it!
Love following your builld progress Uber. I'm a noob and fell in love with the XV twin as well so I'm on the search for a local donor. All of the issues that you're coming across I'm sure to have as well, so this is all valuable info! Looking good!
