Hey, from Michigan

[durgam_K]

Ive been into 650's for a couple years now, and have built a real nice bobber for a friend, now its my turn to build one for me. Cafe style. Im a CNC machinist and programmer by trade, so I can offer lots of advice in that area if needed. I hope to gain plenty of info,and share some as well. thanks.

Welcome, 2nd Michigan guy to join this week! Were are you in MI? I'm just north of the palace a bit.

Welcome aboard lots of knowledge here! Are you experienced on a lathe? I just got one last week and can't wait to use it. Its a south bend model c from what I can tell. The serial on it puts it between 1937 and 1941. Should be interesting.

Ive got plenty of experience on a lathe, even some time on a relic like that one.LOL. Thos are good machines, and last a long time. As long as you can handle a little belt squeak.

detroit here.

one of these days it i wouldnt mind getting together with other xs peeps for a detroit creep. any of you guys in the area interested? very unlikely this year though since both of my bikes are in pieces at the moment.

 

[durgam_K]

Im very interested in something like that. Although, my XS is too, in similar shape, with some of it still in my head, and on napkins.
