Re: Re: XS650 "Tina Marie"

I think I am going to like the new rotors and Nissan calipers better than the old stock set up

Getting the CBR rotors ready

Yep thats nice!

Just curious Jared - why drill the rotors? Mounting bolts different sizes?

Either way, the rotors and the motor look great.

The pattern on the rotors are basically the same, the mounting holes on the cbr's are slightly smaller diameter and ever so slightly on a smaller radius. So they also had to be slotted out just a bit.

Frame paint is done.

Looks rad

Thanks buddy. I am really digging the color. I had it matched as close as I could to the hand grips that are going on it. And I kinda like not just doing the typical black frame.

I'm tring to buy a 650 tomarrow

Looking great. I like the non black frame too. Must be nice working in Kanticoy Designs / Kiley's garage, I would love to live close enough to borrow his paint booth.

Yep, it is nice. The last paint job I did involved moving all of the fire trucks out of the bay while at work and cleaning like crazy so no over spray could be found!

Ha, that sounds about right, my last one ended with a scolding from the wife as the fumes made it in the house from the garage even though I did it with the doors open and slightly outside. I had to bring the parts in as it was getting cold. I will be painting the tins outside if it ever stops raining.

Couple of pictures I snapped of Jared playing with the DevilBiss toys.

Slow going here lately, but I did manage to get the engine back in the frame.

Nice one mate 8) great colour ! and great to see a new coloured frame too ;D

 

[cyclefreak]

Thanks Andy, hopefully I will have this thing back on the road before too much more of the riding season passes.

 

[VonYinzer]

Definitely going to be one of a kind! Keep at it man. Gonna' be very cool.

OK, long over due for an update, and not as much to update as I would like but this is what I got.

Swingarm is on along with some slightly used Hagons

Points are gone and new electronic ignition is in.

Along with upgraded coil

Some body work done.

Seat pan made from high density plastic (cutting board stock) I swear its not a re-furbed skateboard.

And the xs1100 front end in place.
I will try not to wait so long for the next update.

 

[Kanticoy]

Ya done yet?

 

[cyclefreak]

Its close enough to being finished that you can sit on it and make Vroom Vroom noises!

 

[cyclefreak]

By the way Kiley, thanks for not taking any pics while I was sitting on it earlier!
