I have been working a little here and there on the Yamaha XS400 hardtail bobber. I won't bore you all with details so I have just attached a few pictures of the process. I hope you enjoy.

| This is the furthest I have gotten...... |

| BKG purchased a MIG welder a couple weeks ago....... |
 |
| About to weld on the brackets I made for the seat.... |
 |
| I welded on a #6 metric nut on the rear tail to allow the fender stringer to mount on..... |
 |
| Tires mounted on the primed rims... |
 |
| Taking all the patina off the fuel tank... |
Things are starting to go faster now that I have the welder. I am almost to the point of stripping the frame bare and prime/top coat paint. I still need to build a new wiring harness.....just dreading that.
Oooph, building a wiring harness does not sound like fun. I'm ordering parts from DCC as we speak and I hope to be on the road by next week!
ReplyDeleteWELDING?? Is there anything you CANNOT do, Connor Tucker??
ReplyDeleteLooks good, Willie. Good purchase with the welder too....you are a man of many talents.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I do not like about your bike posts is that I wish you and Muck could work on them together! Anything to start bringing us all together! You really are a talented sun of a gun.
