Nobody will agree with me, but as far as offroad capability goes -vs- low cost, giggly fun, is very hard to beat the TW200. Early 80s tech, underpowered, heavy & literally as much fun as you can have on 2 wheels (whilst clothed) They have a rabidly loyal following & fanbase (and a really...

Final catch up, she's all caught up! Done & finished. Tip of the hat to the Warhammer 40k fans (that might just be me....)

Perfect. Just the way a proper chop should be.

I've bought 2 new tanks for my Harley. Brand new, aftermarket, raw steel. I've cleaned, degreased, prepped & etched them, then lined them with POR-15. That was 5 days ago & it's cured very nicely! I've got the tanks sitting in paint right now, but the only way I could get them exactly the way...

Further catching up: I had to replace the replacement risers, as they were hitting the dash. The replacement replacements only hit the speedo bezel. Which cracked the glass *sigh* So I rebuilt the speedo & trimmed an inch off the bottom of the dash. The damn things clear it now........ All the...

I just got after my foam with a 12" hacksaw blade, then refined the edges with a small surform. I took it to a local upholsterer & got it re-covered for just over $100. Before After

I've got the exact same one sitting in my crap pile. It came mounted to the rack on my 650 & the bike didn't make it off the trailer before the sissy bar was on the pile.....

A few 'catching up' pics..... But then I gussied it up a bit. I didn't like the unfinished edge. I tell you what though, creating a wire edge on a sheet steel fender is not as easy as the first 3 minutes I watched, of a 40 minute YouTube tutorial, led me to believe. Especially when the only...

I'm planning on starting tearing into the back end next.

The 'Enblackening' has begun in earnest... I still haven't actually ridden it yet. I hope I like it! 🤣

Fortunately not. I would've hated to have to toss them out of the truck window on the interstate.

I think I've also invested about $200 in various shades of Black paint. 😈

This is a day of purchase vs last night comparison. It's getting less cluttered by the day.... I've got most of the parts I need ordered & I've already sold the seat & apes off it. Unfortunately the new gas tanks are backordered. I was going to cut & paint the original tins, but then...

I don't really want to befoul THE XS forum with a non-metric bike 😄

This is the last bike I had in England before I moved here & was close to what I'm going for. Too shiny by far, but close:

Well, the end goal is going to be a kinda mashup between this lot.... I'm going mostly black (matt with gloss accents & a little chrome) no front fender, minimal (maybe) rear fender, low & wide bars, hidden turn signals (I'd go with zero signals, but I'm pretty sure it'll be a police magnet...

This is the way. Take your time, don't get too in a hurry to spin it up & for God's sake, keep a thumb in the kill switch (99% chance you're fine, you know what you're doing, but it only takes 1 sticky slide or throttle cable to make you REAL gunshy!)
