TW200 Zombie Tracker build

[Mykdee]

Picked up a $600 2013 TW200 3600 miles Bobber today. Did not buy it because I like the bobber style, but the fact that it has already been cut up by a previous owner gave me a great platform for my build. Looking to build something like the bike Daryl has in the Walking Dead, also a mix of Dirt Tracker thrown in.

Plans.....
Change handlebars out for some dirt bike bars.
Replace seat that it came with for a original seat, also add a rear subframe to mount the seat.
Add front fender.
Redo the exhaust, I picked up 2 head pipes today and will cut them up to extend the exhaust.
Try to install a 6" Hella offroad light for the headlight.
Acerbis handgaurds.
Build custom airbox for the K&N filter it came with.
Custom AR15 mount.
ETC..............

JUST TO CLARIFY... The first 2 pics are the welds of the previous owner that did the conversion.

Got some work done on the rear frame today. I have only welded about three times in my life so please be kind!! I could of went with radius bends in the corners, but I thought my way fit the build a little better. I built up the the welds in the corners, were the frame connects quite a bit to make sure they were strong enough to hold up. So..... should I leave it the way it is or add a diagonal support bar like I showed in the first mock up pic? I will post a pic of what I am talking about.

Got a lot done today.

concentrate on penetration not bulk in your welds. Looks like you need to up the amperage and slow the feed

First off, sorry for the sideways pics. When I download them that's how they come out. Suggestions?
You can definitely see that it is getting good penetration, I am just having a hard time getting my welds to lay flatter.
Thanks for the advice!
