Project Shinjimei- 73 TX500

That bike has one of the better factory fuel tanks of the era.. up there with the CB200T in my opinion. I like that motor as well.. What type of welding machine are you using?
 
Well, it might LOOK like a step in the wrong direction, but this is a big moment for me. I now have proof I can get the motor out of the frame, and it's all in one piece! Mostly.....

Sigh... At this point, I wish I'd have put more effort into using the Yamaha frame as a whole, instead of trying to make it fit the Honda cradle..... Oh well. Moving forward.

Many moons ago, my bike looked like this... I stumbled across this picture a former friend took of it before I went insane..... I should've been outside working on it today with the weather finally starting to warm up, but my depression is pretty bad, so i didn't...

I'm sorry to hear about the depression man, hope the sun rises on a better day for you tomorrow
 
I finally had a small amount of motivation to do some work on the bike today. So I made a mockup version of the headlight mount, FINALLY in the place I want it. And without those stupid headlight ears! Plus I burned in a few gussets ( not shown ) at the rear of the frame join, below the swingarm pivot. One step at a time ...

I finalized the headlight mount today. I couldn't get a clear picture of the bottom, to show how I have it attached to the lower tree, but I think you'll get the idea.
