Just picked up the tank and wrapped up the build today. Touching up the paint on the frame is the last thing to do and give her a good shine over the weekend. I have the tank badges on order but those are just bolt on. Here she is after a nice day of riding and getting her nice and dirty! Ignore the wet spots on the ground, not from my bike. There's still some room to improve on little things (painting exhaust hangers, etc.) but it's my vision come to life.

Nice job! Looks great!
Gotta ask, what's goin on with the clutch lever?1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors )
1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)
Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

Clutch cable broke...hoping none of you would pick up on that . New one on order should be here on Friday.
Front tire is as old as dirt. I have a new one sitting next to me in my room but I didn't have the patience to take it to the local shop today and have it installed. I'll be putting it on Friday with the new clutch cable.Last edited by D0wn5h1ft; 04-02-2014, 08:03 PM.78 E - 2to1 exhaust, dynatek coils, special headlight [SOLD!]

Hopefully the rearbtire as well, if it is also older than dirt.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
