Finished the frame rails to axle plate braces and tacked the lifting spool tabs and M/C reservoir bracket. That finishes the frame with exception of a side stand mount and I`ll have to mock it up again with the exhaust on to see what room I have? Welding shop tomorrow then back to finish the...

If you remove the drive shaft be sure to remove the little washer at the bottom.

I transferred the poster board template to a piece of .063 aluminum and cut it out "again" and bent it into shape on the form I made. Worked OK so far I guess. I did look on line at some other tail sections and they looked worse than the one I just made so I`ll keep it for now. At least the...

Somehow I knew someone would reference that.:lmao:

Great thread.:thumbsup: Not a tool but this was my dad`s one and only flashlight. He kept it under the seat of every truck he had. It also rode in the boat on every fishing trip. Still works great! Dad`s been gone for 13 years now but I`d give a million dollars just to hear him tell me "Keep...

Starting to remind me of a old George Carlin skit.:thumbsup: Oh well I can`t spend the day "Spanking the Monkey" on the computer. I`m going out to the shop and try to accomplish something XS650 related.:hump:

How does the fabric hold it`s shape?

Thanks. It`ll look way better in the trash can than the first one I did.:shootme:

I spent the entire day "Boxing the Bishop" on this tail section/seat. I had to make a form to center the seat and get the general shape of the bend then make pattern`s (3) before I got one I can barely tolerate. The green tape is covering a window I cut in the pattern so I could match up the...

I couldn`t stand it any longer. I smoothed out the welds and did a small test polish.:thumbsup: Much better. Should be good for another 5 MPH.:sneaky:

I haven`t touched the LSR build for 2 weeks following the seat/tail section fiasco "Builders Block". Anyways I`m back on it. Got the tanks made so now I have to decide whether I like them or not? Lengthy process. Can`t decide if I like the "Stack of Dimes TIG look or not. Smooth and polished is...

The Pony Express (USPS) finally made it to Topeka Kansas today. All 10 plugs are made in Japan and look good to me.:thumbsup: At .77 cents each I should have bought a hundred.:shrug:

Stainless safety wire. Rode it around the block twice and it held great.:thumbsup:

Still waiting. I guess it would help if Topeka was in the United States but it`s not, It`s in Kansas. There`s a big difference.:yikes:

Ordered on April 27 and here it is May 2nd and they`ve made it from Sugar Land TX to St Louis Mo. Not bad for the USPS. Expected delivery Mon May 6th. Only 9 days from TX to KS.:yikes:

The brass timing gauge supplied with the kit measures 28mm in length.

The storm missed me completely.:thumbsup: No hail, rain or high winds or anything "Yet". The night is young.:shrug:

Tornado warning as usual. Glenda, cats and I are in the basement. Heads up Jim It`s moving east.

Has anyone checked the tracking yet? Mine shows the order is still in Sugarland TX awaiting USPS pickup.:wtf:

#6 cable works great.:thumbsup:
