Hi everyone!
My name is Anders Jonasson-Beltin from Sweden.
A soon 50 year Young man,with roots in Motocross and Roadracing,and have worked,built,tuned,raced more bikes than I can remember.
Still race Motocross just for fun,and working on my youngest sons motocrossbike and try it to be faster than last time he rode it...
First let me say Thank You for all the info on this site!
Have been Reading and searching both Before and now during my attempt to build a XS650 Street Tracker with my personal touch.
Bought a -81 XS,and had a "vision" in my head how it should look,but the main goal is it should be 100% "homemade".
I intend to make all work myself,fabrication of parts,all machinework and also all Surface coatings.
Have a small machineshop with normal Machines,lathe,mill,drillpress and so on,and also have both aluminium anodizing and zink electroplating Equipment,these are simple "homemade" Equipments that anyone can build quite cheap if You have basic knowledge in Chemistry and safety.
Also make carbonparts with vacuuminfusion,so I will try to make as much parts for the XS as possible.
So all "non-standard" parts You see on the photos is all made by me in my Little workshop,takes time but lots of fun when the parts is finished!
Will try to upload photos while it proceeds,just so I can share and maybe give some ideas and maybe be able to help someone the way all tips and tricks written here has helped me.
So will be back with more info and photos later on.
Regards....Anders.
