I'm starting with part of a frame I got for $20. This will be a low budget build.

Are you guys going to be updating personal build threads or are you just going to post monthly here? It would be cool to see individual threads for your builds that way when we all get together for the ride and party it will be a little more fun knowing a little of the story behind each bike.

Yeah individual build threads with monthly updates here to indicate progress that you are still working toward the build-off.
hey y'all i'm new here to the forum ridin' a modified [not bobbed or chopped] 1975 xs650 out of ga...sounds like a killer idea... 
It will be interesting to see how you figure out the compression and ride height with the girder front end. What rake angle 40 degrees?

Its being set up for 35 degrees of rake. Gives me 3.75 inches of trail with the 19" front I picked up. Shock is a 115 lb spring rate with 3" of full travel, I had the engineer at Works Performance do the work on that part. Far as ride height is concerned I am building my frame from scratch so I will set the ride height as I build it. Hopefully all the calculations work out.

Got my NOVEMBER pic in per contest requirements! Here is my 83xs that i bought from SangreDeDios and let me say the thing runs so damn good i cant sell it. it was his personal bike and had been the best representation of a chopped xs i had seen in person or rode (ive only owned 3 or 4 chopped xs's). Because of it being so reliable is why i decided to not start a project that envolved me changing the way it runs/performs as that is not an issue; so the motor will never unbolt. everything will be degreased and all covers will be removed and powdercoated black.
Going Board tracker theme; baby blue 60s Honda tank, 16" front and rear with mt90-16 white-walls front and rear (going to paint match hoops baby blue with black hubs/chrome spokes), custom curved boardtracker clip-ons, vintage orange headlamp with amber lens matching orange tank accents, white grips etc....
i will probably start my own thread come Decembers required picture post if i make some parts progress. having a 3 week old baby and all the holidays leaves me very doubtful.
