Here's my XS. Pretty much done, got a few more things to finish up

Thanks and Yeah, I know I need to get the HD off. I like the colors, but I defintely need to get that off there. I plan to take the bike back apart this winter and finalize everything and paint the tank. As of right now I have no idea of what to do for a design. The moped tank is off of a...

Here's a quick test ride video

Its on, I swear.

Its been a little while since I've posted anything new here. Here are some more photos of the build

Wherearewe: I'm thinking ill weld two tabs to the swing arm up front and bolt it there. Then use simple fender struts mounted to the rear of the fender and to the rear of the swing arm near where the axle goes through. I believe there is already a threaded hole there. My main goal with the...

Well, since I've been working on the bike for about a year now, and I bought the tank, welded bungs to the frame for the tank, painted the frame, mounted the tank, plumbed the tank and filled it with gas. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I want to go with a sportster tank. Even though I did chop many...

I don't want to run a rear fender, but I most likely will put one on. I took the bike over to DMV in the back of my truck to do a vin verification so I can get it registered. The DMV inspector wouldn't do it since the bike didn't have fenders or blinkers. I'm thinking im going to do a narrow...

Must not be the original tank. I checked the Vin, the frame is a 78. As for the seat, no worries. There will be a fender on there some day. That air shock only compresses about an inch and the rear shocks are pretty stiff. Im in the test and tune phase with the bike right now. I'm gonna have...

Time to take her apart. Getting rid of all the extras

My bike is just about done and I'm hoping to register it very soon. I figure its time to post up my build. The bike is a '78, bought it off of craigslist last July for $550 not running and missing some parts. Day 1

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the complements. Couldn't have gotten the bike to this point without a site like this. The headlight is a Unity fog lamp that I found at a swap meet. I swapped the internals with a 4 1/2in bates style headlamp that I already had. Painted the glass yellow too.
