Yes I know my truck isnt finished and Im starting another project. Since I cant go home to work on my truck cause of school, Im starting a project that I can build in the basement of my apartment.

My roomate has a early 1980's Yamaha Maxim 650 motorcycle. He also has another complete bike that isnt put together. So I bought the other "bike" off of him for $50. This is a generic picture of the bike.



Step 1 is to get the bike all back together and running.
step 2 is to black the bike out, black frame, wheels, tank, everything.
Step 3 is to cut the rear of the frame and make it into a hardtail, hopefully turning out like this.....

 

Nice!!!

 

damn you are copying me. I have a moto build going right now too...

get your own ideas douche nozzle

 

And I thought I had too many projects......

 

I only have two, cut me some slack , I live to far away from the truck to work on it during school.

 

What are you building?

 

1994 cbr f2.

I had gotten a 1979 cb750 for a cafe racer as well, but I am selling it...

 

plans for the cbr?

 

its gonna be a bobber/streefighter. r1 USd forks, custom subrame, black out everything except the tank fenders and headlights which will be army-ish green...

its in peices in the garage right now, soon as I make the subframe/bobberish tailsection the frame and swingarm are taking a trip to the powder coaters...

 

Good to see a brother member of the xj bikes forum. I am also a member of that forum I own a xj750 seca and xs400. That is one sweet bike.

shane

 

Yea my roommate bought his xj650 and the "parts" bike came with it so I figured I might as well put it back together. And I figured I might as well do some mods to it as well.

Did some minor cleaning today on the bike, took the old airbox and battery holder out as they wont be reused after we chop the frame up.

 

This makes me miss my motorcycle more. good luck with it, I'll keep checking in to see what you've done with it.

 

lol you can turn those bars around, wave a red cape in front of it and yell out torro. gota love those maxim bars. yea my xs4 had those same bars and they were changed to some nice touring bars. must be nice to have time and a little cash to have a project like that. what do you plan to do with the air box, keeping it stock or doing pods? good luck with the bike will be checking in on this thread.

 

I cut the stock air box up to make it easier to get out of the frame. Im going with pods. Im going to make a set of bars for it, thats the first thing that has to go.

 

sweet you got some really cool plans for this thing and good luck with those jets on the carbs

one other thing check this web site out www.xjbikes.com lot of great help

 

yea Im already on that site, great place for these bikes.

 

If he copied you, then you copied me.

I've got a 93 f2. Had it for about 3 years now. But it sits in the shop cuz my '05 1000RR gets all the attention now.

 

Got the motor pulled today. So now I need to get the cams set back up and the timing figured out and we can fire her up. Then we can start really chopping into the frame and getting some work done.

 

Get some updated pics.

 

ask and you shall receive

This is somewhere close to where ride height in the back will be (think of the top of the blocks in the rear as the ground). Its gonna be slammed.
