15 months to do the engine. Got the frame back Friday from powder coat cleaned up the over spray. Rolled up my selves and got on it Saturday. This part is so satisfying.

I had to go back and re read your previous posts, the memory isn’t what it used to be!
First of all, this bike is going to be stunning! Your paint job is as beautiful as it is unique, I’m loving the XS1 front drum ( and you did a great job bringing that back to life) , I like the meaty tires, the matt finish on the engine, the swingarm. I am really looking forward to seeing this come together. Are you gonna be running that Conti exhaust then?
Keep us posted , lots of updates and lots of photos! You’ve worked a long time for this moment!

 

[bigstick1973]

Thanks ! Yes I'm going to try out the bub exhaust see how it looks and sounds.

My brother asked me to put the seat and tank on so there just sitting on there. Tank went right back in the pillow case and got locked back up. Here's also my new uppers. Wiring starts this weekend .

Very clean build. I like the upper tree what is it?

 

[bigstick1973]

There made in Thailand. Only 140 bucks plus shipping. All cnc. Also get full trees and uppers for clip ons. Nice stuff. I have a few people that in order from. But all the parts come form gigabike factory

 

[bigstick1973]

Some progress. Wiring he'll lol.

 

[bigstick1973]

What a weekend!

 

[Mailman]

Very tidy wiring job!

[buzzword]

What a weekend!

looking clean! I do suggest using bootlace ferrules on your wire terminations going into the motogadget - cleans up the look a bit, and then you can take them in/out several times without having to re-strip the wire to get freshies!

 

[bigstick1973]

I have them on the 22 awg wires. Still waiting on the ones for my 18 awg wires. There so dam small lol. But yes you are right!

 

[bigstick1973]

Should have it finished this weekend at some point may pull a all nighter and get her done. Looking forward to the first ride. Was on hold waiting for parts. Thanks once again to everyone here for all the help you are all great people and I'm glad to be part of this.

 

[Mailman]

Man! That is such a great looking bike, it’s got a tough looking stance.

 

[bigstick1973]

Thanks

I'm going to try to make a video just going over what I did in the building process witch took over 7 years. Lol I have so many photos kinda happy and sad at the same time. Was a fun time hunting down parts waiting on parts to pop up. But very happy with the out come. I'm sure I'll be tweaking things for awhile.

Thanks and that's all oem nos parts on that front wheel. Nothing redrilled. It's a 18 inch tx750 rear rim and spokes with the xs1 hub. Tx750 rear hub same size as the xs1 front straight swap. No need to send it anywhere to have it built. I'm also running the tx 750 rear wheel 18 inch front and rear 4.50 18 firestone champion tires

 

[bigstick1973]

All done!
