I needed a brake from the welding/grinding iron work. So i started restoring the carburetors. Lately I have been wondering if it would be more fun to build the EFI system from a 675 Triple daytona and convert it to my bike, powered by megasquirt.... Well we will see ::) The carbs did get a...

I bend the sides up i a 90 degree angle, and welded it al together, and used a grinder to grind any excess welds.

I also had access to more than one seam machine 8) Very nice machine to make the seat steel plate stiff enough for my big behind ;D I am no pro at bending and cutting steel as well welding it. But you never learn it you dont try. Today i would have made the seat rear and front bend differently.

Kiwi 60, you are very Welcome The frame was not finished yet. I had to make a seat bottom, and I wanted to make it from 0,7mm steel plate. Also some brackets was needed to mount the seat to the frame. First i made the seat. I used some cardboard I found in the workshop at work, and cut it to...

Hey again The next step in the progress was to restore the frame and repair it from any rust and other damages. Also i welded a u-bended tube at the back of the frame (rear loop). I tig welded two brackets for the front indicators af the front of the frame just underneath the gastank. For the...

To be able to get the engine out the frame i had to dismantle the oilsump pan and the oil pump. Otherwise they would get stuck between the frame rails going under the engine. I found out that was because of an enlarged oilsump from an XS850 as well as a bigger oilpump. (Not a bad thing at all...

The engine was got a bit of an overhaul. First i started tear the carburettors apart. 3 Hitachis with a lot of dirt og rust to be taken care of. I bought a repairkit on Ebay including new needles, pilot main and choke nozzles, gaskets etc. I wanted the carbs to look and function as they did...

So now it starts looking like a bike again. Got the engine back in the newly powdercoated frame! Just love to mount renovated new parts! I straight fit since I haven't done any modifing to the frame there! Need to change the steeringstem bearings..
