2nd build thread

[walterpunk]

Hey guys I thought id share what I'm doing with my xs here's some pictures!! Its an 80 xs voodoo vintage mk25 hardtail. Building on a bit of a budget so I'm trying to make as much as I can. So far ive made the neck gussets, rolled some fender struts out of 1/2 round bar and spun up some bungs for the fender. Had a seat plasma cut at work that I rolled and welded bungs I made to it. Had a hinge plama cut out too and I made the pivot parts for it out of some cold roll I also made up some mounts for the spring on my little lathe. Handlebars are 7/8" dom and 1" .125 wall dom I drilled out and sleeved together. I just need to weld those up haha. I'm doing shinko 777 tires front and back...I just need to buy the front one. Thats all I can think of right now haha. Hope you guys like it!

Did you have any issues with the mk25 and the stock rear wheel? I read on their website that the distance between axle plates is around 9.25" and stock is 8.5"?? Not sure if this plays a factor or not, but I sure love the way it looks!!

 

[walterpunk]

Yup mk25s are 9.25 between the plates. I got the pro builders kit so I couldve done 8.5. I still did 9.25. I machined spacers out of aluminum to get the stock wheel centered. I'm also using voodoo vintage snail cam adjusters in between the axle plates

 

[wannabridin]

so no issues with the stock wheel, just different spacers needed? Good to know, thanks.

 

[walterpunk]

No issues. Whatever is needed to center the wheel. Here's a pic of the right side
