Redranger4.0's Motorcycle Build thread.
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.....

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...

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.
