Got my new engine through last weekend so mocked it up in the frame with my carbs etc. Had my buddy round helping me too so got him to fabricate my adapter for the stator mount. Finally got my wheel bearings in too and stripped the forks ready for mock up to see how low i wanna go :)
Jdizon thanks man! I was looking at your drawings on the hard on build. Thats a nice frame man! I couldn't draw like that! Took me five hours to do mine! Had to scale down pics from the internet then trace them off my laptop screen :)
Bobber_xs wouldnt like to try fitting three xs in my shed...
Here's how the spec's shaping up at the moment-
Mikuni VM34 carbs
Pamco ignition
Kick only with capacitor
Bates headlight
Side mount old skool ford tail light
0 stretch 2 inch drop David Bird looped hardtail
Lowbrow peanut tank
Original mag wheels powder coated black with bad ass firestone tyres...
Decided to start a new thread seeing as the title of my last one was a little misleading due to me completely changing the direction i was headed with the build shortly after starting it.
I'm building an xs650 hardtail bobber from the little brick shed behind my house. So far, well i'm not...
Yeah, got everything fully dismantled now pal. Planning on separating the gearsets and laying them out in order. Got a haynes manual too that has an exploded diagram. Do you have a haynes manual yet? Not really much to these engines by the looks of things, i think as long as you're methodical...
On the right thread now :) Haha, your engine looks about as shit as mine!! Lol. Not managed to damage anything too severely on mine so far (touch wood). Found some pretty shite bodges by previous owners along the way though. Plus a couple of broken bits floating about and a disintegrated oil...
