So do you already have the rest of the motor?

That's going to be a fine bike!

reassembling the frame and suspension this weekend after being unassembled for quite some time.  Got busy and with the vacation I just had, I couldn't really concentrate on it, but now I should be able to be consistent with it.  hoping to finish before the summer hits or maybe even in early spring.

Just giving a small update.  I finally got the cams installed and the engine turns in perfect harmony.  Still quite a bit of work to do, but I'm getting closer everyday.  Does anyone know where I can buy some wire that would match the original wire color and tracers?  Thinking about making the harnes from scratch.

Do you have a job? where do you find time for this stuff? Lookin' good by the way

[matap]

Let me tell you..............I get very little sleep b/c I usually work late into the night on this.  The good thing is I'm not tired at all. I'm a man on fire.

Looks good

a few more pictures.  at this point the frame/chasis is complete.  wheels painted.  all of the motor is finally closed and ready for oil.  What i have left is.......mount chain, make custom throttle & clutch cables, paint gas tank, assemble carburetors( & sync), rewire entire bike and maybe a few small things here and there.

That magazine finder just is not going to work, first time it rains you will have to replace it. I have some extra tin if you want.

Matap, I may be contacting you in the next several weeks. I was given an old XS650 that my son and I are going to bob out for him. I am really interested in looking at what you have done, and bouncing some ideas off of you. BTW, how much money do you have in yours so far?

[matap]

No problem man.  Hit me up for sure.  I think I have vested about less than $2500.00 and some of that money isn't even on the bike b/c of trial and error.

[cybrhick]

I was gifted an XS650 with an extra engine, and 3 sets of wheels. This will be a father and son project for my youngest boy. I am very interested in the monoshock setup you have there. I'm going to go pick it up this Friday, so I'll get with ya soon bro.
