Fuel leak

Thought I had it but over night it leaked out.

Another Free bike from Craigslist

Thsi is the third one, I should be able to get some good parts off of it and then sell it for bit.

Like Magic

As I was taking the picture for the Netural light I turn the key a little more and the brake light came on.  Wow!

Still waiting on the Front end.

Still not done the wiring but it seam to be going well, I won't really know until I try and start it but for know I know that I got the neutral light to work......well that's now completely true; I got the light to come on won't know if it works until I hook up the clutch cable.  Mostly it is cross all my fingers right know.

The nightmare that is electrical has begun....

My Rad New Jacket

Still waiting.....

This is up to date, gave it an oil change and cleaned the carbs.

BARS, Painted.

These turn out nice.

Assembly begins!!!!!!!!!!!

It can't be that hard to put it back together, right?  Here we go!

The Tank, This is what happens when you rush.

Painting Booth

I have finished the frame and parts.

XS650 Wiring

Wow, I thought the ceiling fan was a little tricky.  I think I have most of it sorted out but now I have to actually put it on the bike.  I think I will wait untill the final welding is done and then put all the wiring on.

Above is the diagram I used but whited out the bit's I"m not using.  Here is my chicken strach copy, but now I need signals?

I guess the internet is not a fad?

I kind of thought it might stick around for a bit but who knew this.  This is my first every blog and in turn my first ever post.

Mostly I am going to blog about my XS650 Chopper build that I have under gone about 7 months ago.  It is a lot harder to put them back together.

 I ripped it apart pretty easy but now that I am building it, I realize that the hardest part is that I can not fuse metal together with my mind.
I think I should learn to weld if I am ever going to do this again.(which i probably will)
