Well I've been lurking on here posting a little but mostly researching. I've been turning wrenches on my own 80 xs650 bobber project and have been able to ride it a bit.
While stuck in traffic on my bobber after the local July 4th fireworks I was stopped by a guy who said he knew someone looking to offload a bunch of yamaha parts having already completed his own bike. He gave me some contact info and off I went.
Well this weekend I was finally able to connect with this individual. Many thanks go out to Dusty who is now moving on to new projects. Honestly I can't wait to see his dually hotrod tearing up the streets of Maine.
Without further adue the list of new aquisitions includes:
1 74 tx750(motor seems sound and maybe a restoration or an oddball chop project)
1 honda frame (possibly honda 360) with an xs650 motor semi grafted into it
6 xs650's several different years
4 bins of parts
1 mono shock swingarm possibly yamaha.
2 HD 21" spoked rims one is a stock rim other is an aftermarket twisted spoke rim
a pair of kawasaki ninja rims with tires maybe fat tire chopper in my future
Sportster tank and a Fiberglass tank both need to be relined.
Big question I have is whats the simplest way to get one of these HD rims on the front of my bike?
