Faster than a speeding ticket
Hey guys, I know the XVs are pretty hot right now and I have my own build too. Thought you might be interested in seeing it and have good insight for me.
When I bought it:
How it stands now:
I've never done anything like this. Its my first build. I had help with welding the new subframe. My idea was to make it look like someone cafe'd it back in 1981, then stored it. So it would be an early 80's version of a cafe racer. I kept all the stock lighting and such. I tried my hand at seat fabbing and it didn't quite turn out like I hoped, but oh well.
I'll be doing a little aircleaner manafold thingy on the frame where the big box is now. I have the rear to front wheel conversion kit and a XV750 16" wheel, only thing is I'll have to adapt the adapter because I have the dual disks.
What do you think?
