NEW PROJECT STARTED and hello

[working class choppers]

Been lurking for the last couple weeks as I picked up a 79 xs400 about 2 years ago
I just built a brand new shop in Yardley PA from the ground up
this took about a year and a half to complete and I have not built any bikes over the last two years. Now that I can finally get to work on something I decided to throw the 400 on the lift and see what happens.

Shooting for a simple, low budget bobber.
Mod frame, but keep swingarm.
small tank
mini apes
that's about all I got figured out for now

I enjoy the forum and look forward to talking with others

stock

stripped

tank (well maybe?)

Ohh wow, you have the tools to make this the bionic bike! You can remake it!

Nicest intro, I have seen in a long time, definitively better than mine! It is looking good! Keep it up!!!

Looking good. Give us lots of photos!

there was once a time when I could put in a few hours on a project and feel like I actually accomplished something.....not so much now days
