Im going to start saving now, and buying things as i need them, in order to be able to start when i can get a bike. I have a tattoo scheduled on the 25th, but other than that, every dime is going to go to the XS fund.
After everyone's input i think I'm going to get a welder and attempt to most things myself. Im going to try to keep up with a build thread as i go with detailed pictures, not to show off my work, but because i know i will have millions of questions.
I feel like i know enough people to get help where it is seriously needed, like probably the frame. Guys that probably have no knowledge of XS's really, but are excellent fabricators, and would be able to to make sure my fabrication would hold up and be safe.
As of now, i do not plan on hardtailing the bike. I love the bratstyle look, and am planning on going with the visual impact brat kit.
What would be a good style MIG to look for that would do all the things i would need on this bike, but would run on 120? As i will be working out of a garage or building I wont have a shop.
Thanks for all the input fellas, Im already obsessed with this stuff, and have been obsessed for a while, and i dont even have a bike yet. I cannot wait to get this thing started.
