FINISHED!! w/pics-1969 Yamaha TD-2 GP race replica build
Hi everyone,
a few days ago I introduced myself and told you about the vintage GP racer I am building out of my '77 XS400-2E. Well I finally got the build progress picks shrunk down for the thread so here they are. The first and second picks are when I started and my inspiration pics. The rest are what I have completed so far...enjoy and feel free to ask any and all the questions you want. The tank started as an XS500 that was narrowed and stretched by me and the seat and cowl are all hand made from aluminum. I am building it in two phases, the first will be naked with the stock wheels and hopefully next year it will get completed with a full fairing and shouldered aluminum rims and machined brakes/hubs as funds come available.
