The Front End


I still got another project that I will never finish, something completely different, also home made ( except the seat cover ) It's a XJ900

How I bought it




How it sits for over 5 years or so.. ( a shame I know...)



So I took the whole front end of it, it will fit on my XV with minor changes, one in fact, the XV has 36mm tubes and the XJ 37mm, that's the 1% of the build that I won't, can't, do myself..

Painted the front wheel, using the old card trick...













 

THE BASE

YAMAHA XV750 - 1981




   

THE BEGINNING...

I know a lot of you don`t want to read about me or my life and why or how I started this project, but I got you so far as you are reading ! lol 


Yeah ok lets cut the crap...


Ridding a Custom Harley for a couple of decades I wanted something else, and that something else was not only about the looks but also the way the bike feels, rides, a V-Twin again wasn't the first thing that came to mind, and yet...

After so many years with a bike no one else had, meaning a custom made bike, there was no way I just got me a stock Kawasuki or a Yamahonda from the showroom, no sir !

It was going to be a custom bike again, but no chopper, a Cafe Racer, or maybe it's more a Kustom Racer...

What is sure is that it's going to be 100% home designed and 99% home made...
