Biltwell Keystones and Slimline risers. Boom!!! Now Im working with a roller. My homie droped me some nice coin for that 35mm front end which started off as his anyway, he also wants to keep the mags now that both will fit, so The Jap slap build is back to moving in the roght direction.

Thanks @Streets Did you use polishing rogues? Here is the order I use black, brown, white, green, then blue on a Harber Freight polisher and changeing wheels after each color rogue. Believe it or not I never touched that top clamp with any sand paper. I preped it with nylon brushes on a drill...

Just sayen

Fork shrouds come in. They are for a sportster originally so I nee to trim about two inches off the bottom and slot the mounting hole a little bit to clear the second clamp bolt. Sexy sexy sexy.

Well, I've got about 20 hrs into this 35mm fromt end for Scraps. At this point I have 0 money invested. But it's not finished.

Just another update on Scraps. I've been shaving her legs today. Almost ready for the polishing rouges. Hoping to get to the trees tomorrow. I'm usually a springer or girder guy but I'm really digging where this hydrolic is headed. Looks like Scraps is going to be a classy little chop.

So I just want to explain the reasoning for the second XS build that I'm calling "Scraps". Scraps is being built because I entered this chop off with "The Jap Slap" which is a bike that I'm building for a buddy who seems to be having problems getting me parts. Being that @HAPPY DAN let me be...

Well I was cleaning out my parts room today and relized I've pretty much have enough parts to buld a second XS650 besides having a frame. A quick call to our friend PJ @Ranger and a front loop has been sacured. Now to get a hard tail from Voo Doo. If its OK with @HAPPY DAN I'd like to give a...

Just a little update. Expect changes as she is starting to talk to me.

My March update. The Jap Slap and I sat down tonight and had a long conversation and she is starting to open up to me and tell me just what she wants.

I've still got the old front end and wheels, I may try to get something mached up by next weekend.

I'll be posting here in this thread as well as in my build thread and on Instagram

email sent and here we go. Parts are ariving. Just waiting on front end and wheels to get started.

Picked up the 277 rephased 700 big bore beast by @IronHeartCycles from the shippers last week.

Today I massaged the frame a little more and also welded in the new neck gussets and filled the hole from the neck stem lock. Still aways to go but it's getting closer.

Well, I kinda need this.

I'm in with The Jap Slap build. 277 rephased 700 big bore by @IronHeartCycles, Considering a @faithforgotton wishbone springer and maybe some invaders but thats still up in the air.

Puttin in work today on The Jap Slap frame. I figured since parts are finally showing up I'd better get busy. Welded in the neck gussets, welded up the stem lock hole, massaged the frame a little more. I'm not yet done but a lot closer.

BobbedSled, I do not know yet that project is a ways off and was just loosly thrown together with parts from the parts closet. When the time comes new rockers will be made and trail set correctly.
