My wife is really supportive about it all, and she takes interest in my work and lets me have my "Greatest Achievements Of Mankind" moments. She even came out to tell me the bike sounded nice when I got it running the other day. Now tonight will be the true test when I bring the XS through the sun room, dining room, and kitchen so I can put it in the basement. This will be another milestone in our relationship....or my funeral if I scratch the floor, paint, or furniture......lol.

 

[FUBAR]

yeah haha thanks guys, we started it a few times then realized the doors and windows were all closed and got a nice head ache from the fumes.

[volcomskater77]

NICE!!!!!!! feels good to have it run i bet.

Did you change the rear backbone and rear motor mounts? Looks pretty sweet with the round can mounted in there.

 

[FUBAR]

i pretty much cut apart the whole frame and made new pieces, the stock parts are the headstock and front down tubes and motor mounts, the rest in new DOM bent and welded

 

[OleDoc]

sweet build fubar

 

[Apoo]

your hard tail looks great! Could you post a couple shots of what you did under the seat and around your electrical box to tie the back bone into the frame? thanks

 

[dspen666]

what did you do about the upper motor mounts?

 

[FUBAR]

i havent built the upper mount yet, but plan on using the old rubber bracket and welding a new mount, as for the elec. box i made a can and tunneled it like a gas tank to wrap around the frame.
