Hello
New here. I am supposed to be picking up an XS400 today after work if everything checks out on it..
Looking forward to building it, it will be hardtailed of course..
Here are a few of my past builds...
First one was a VLX
Here is the before... traded a gun for it, and the only thing I bought was a seat..
After
Then I got a Triumph from my Uncle, it is a 1970 Tiger that he has owned since 1971.. He had not started it since 1986 and gave it to me in April.. I got $600 into it and it is my daily transportation....
Here is the before
and after
and NOW...
Got this bike last weekend for $300 on Craigslist,
got the hard tail material for $125 Cut the stock handlebars into 9 pieces..
threw out 4 of them and welded the remaining 5 up to make the new ones..
cut the back of the bike off.. made a new rear 1/2,
and today stuck the tank back on for a sec to see how it would look...
Long way to go, but only have 8hrs into it,
and a total (including purchase price of bike) of $425 into it
Starting to take shape..
Captain America before
