    A short "Build" History, and Introduction

    Wow I can't believe it has been a year since I have been on here. My project got so side tracked with me going back to university and spending so much time training/racing bicycles. I've been playing around with the idea of documenting the build through video instead of pictures and words, I'd...

    Orgoth, The Honda swap was not bolt on, I had to put my XS stem into the CB lower and make a shim for the top tree. Looking back I should have really saved some coin and got a modern set up, but this works too! Thanks for the compliment. Oledoc, Thanks! This is true, however I did steal the...

    Thanks! Kind of a daunting task when I spent what I consider a small fortune on the seat originally. To cut it up and put my upholstery skills to the real test.

    So begins a slow progress of trying to finally pretty up this heap. I won't be rushing and biting off more than I can chew this winter. All I want to achieve is a black frame, great fitting seat, pod filters and a new exhaust. I think that is relatively do able. So based on this...

    Man!! Beautiful work on that extension. Thank you for sharing. I've been looking for how people were doing this, but people like to keep things very hush hush.

    Post up your plans for the fork trail and rake when the head tube gets put on! Interested in seeing your thought processes of that. Looks good so far.

    I wouldn't stop the direction that you are headed with the mounted fender. If you are running it close to the tire, then interference really shouldn't be an issue. If in the end you need more clearance, buy a set of longer shocks. I'm running 14.7" long Fox Podium R's on my XS. Excessively...
