There have been a number of people that have helped me with this and here is the list.
-Kevin for his offering me the bike when he knew he wasn't going to have the time to do what he would like to.
-Scott for getting me into his shop to use the sand blasting room, helping with cutting and prepping the frame for the hardtail, getting rid of all the unneeded tabs and having their welder do an awesome job attaching the TC brothers hardtail.
-Glen for his welding assistance getting the foot peg mounting bolts, tank, seat mounts and rear brake stay and lots of great advice.
John for helping me get the motor and frame up from the basement
And Most of all my wife Rose for stickin with me and not being one of those people who doesn't support what they are doing after their husband changes the direction the bike is taking multiple times ;)
Here is what I started with.
Yes that's an entire XS650 in the back in pieces.
I polished up the old wheels and relaced them and had Jay Lin true them up for me.
Our newest family member Max with my awesome wife Rose.
And She is alive!!!!
