just thought i'd show yas the latest n greatest coming from my very hands.
mid or late 70's xs650 bobber build. got it fired up today. re-designing the charging system. false tank under the seat holds the electrics, some switches.

went thru and fixed a hanging float in #1 carb today. fired right off after putting oil in it. should be a cool bike when i'm done. pretty much my project bike and my initiation into the new shop i'm at.


unmolested stock harness




ignition switch in false tank









molested stock harness.






battery box tacked in.







making the ignition power and headlight power harness.





gonna TIG these little guys tothe frame and run the eires thru those instead of using zip ties. it's thinwall 1/4 pipe or somethin like that.





well. lots more to go. going to rip the motor out probably tomorrow or tuesday and once i get my tig rig to the shop, go over EVERY joint on the hard tail swap where some shit was only tacked with mig.. zap the batter box and false tank and seat brackets, wire supports and misc shit.. then off to the powdercoaters with some more brackets i'll make for the single speedo and H-D headlight.

No idea. He hasn't logged into the forum since 2016 :(



Last time I talked to him was 3 or 4 years ago and he had just moved into a new place. I seem to remember him saying he was going to post less to spend more time doing things in real life and only saw him pop in every couple of months from that point on.


Thanks for the update. Hopefully he pops back in with one of his crazy ass stories.

Yeah, i miss that crazy bastard for sure. Seemed like no matter the subject ****** always had an anecdote or personal experience, while not always helpful, was at least good for a laugh. This forum is diminished in his absence :frown2:
