We really got the desire to get out. Was at FT Bragg NC this weekend. 81 and sunny saturday. Makes me wanna relocate.

Gotta love Ohio weather. I still gotta get the frame all tacked together. as soon as I can pull the motor out it has to be loaded up and off to my old man's shop for his drilling company. His welders are what I really need access too.My lil 110 volt makes a mess and I dont trust it. I can clean up my ugly welds, but weak is another thing. I just cant get the heat out of mine.

I was able to cut out several braces for the frame today. Was able to tack on about half of them. My crap 110v welders are no longer gonna cut it. To add insult to injury, back to work tomorrow 12hr midnite shifts till thursday am. Them gotta load up the cage and off to FT Bragg. Back just in time to go back to work. This thing is gonna sit unfinished for over a week. Stuff like this drives me nuts.

Seat's done. Just set together placesd aside till I start shooting paint. Think I have a free full day tomorrow to see what else I get built. The it's gonna be a while till I can work on it again. Gotta head to FT Bragg later this week for a few days.

I'm not near done yet. Time crunch is in effect. I'm likely loosing a weekend on it to with a trip to FT Bragg to ssee the daughter at 3rd Group.

Welcome from the Youngstown area.

That's a real loss. ohdaho, thanks for the post.

Here it be... http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=73140

So I'm at $166 in it so far... $169 with the tail light I'm probably gonna use. This is how the build sits tonite. I do need to get a new set of streering head berrings, turn signals and what ever else comes up. That's bout it till I can get back in it this weekend.

Oh yeah, the leaf hindge was $3.

My kid's old bicycle frame from years ago found in the old Ford bed where I store scrap... I wanted the shock. For this... New spring from the guys of a bent CBR front fork... diamond plate from one of my dad's scrap drilling trucks....Freebie.

Rear fender, trailer fender from Tractor Supply Co. $20 The "oil tank" a place to stow some electrical. Made from some disguarded steel shelf and an old tool box, another freebie.

$18 more for a peice of 1/8th steel, 5 1/2'' x 5ft for bracing and fab. Besides the couple braces in the frame kneck I build the upper motor mount.

the begining of my "disguard" pile. More chopping and welding and a 4ft peice of 1 1/4 DOM .120 wall disguarded from my buddy's 4wd shop I got dumpster diving I got to this point.

Yeah, I just cleaned it up a couple years back. Good to know the used bike your buying.

Next a raid of my JUNK. All the scrap parts I have tossed aside, steel scrap from disguarded household crap and what ever junk I can find. Keepers from the first search was a front end from a '82 Honda FT500 and the partial frame from the wife's '82 KZ305. First bought part was a fuel tank. Was a HELL of a deal. This old Harley peanut tank at a used parts shop for $25 the price tag...

Since I'm past the point of no return on this little bike I figured I'd post some stuff up. I decided to give this a shot... http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=69365 I got a chance last month to snag a little '80 Yamaha XS400 I worked on about 3 years ago. Picked it up for $100 based on a deal I had with it's owner for the free stuff I gave him when I fixed it. The deal was when he out grows it as a first bike I get first shot at it. All I really wanted was the motor and wireing.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and post a build thread on my entry. So if I fail to make the hit time at least there is evidence of the attempt.

I'm putting off a run to the scap yard till at least the bike is done... never know what parts I tossed in there that may save me a buck.

Damn, Gix, I like your attitude. Now I just hope this pile of scrap fires up by April.

Good weapons with great reputations. I'm NOT a big fan of short barrels autos due to the MASSIVE loss in FPS, I normally try to keep the auto's to 4" or better or a .38 +P+ wheel snubby guns, but good defence belly guns. I'm still from the school of thought that handguns exist to give you time to get a long gun.

So what would you value parts and peices taken frome here?

Her foot is healing up. She is getting her Airborne physical, AGAIN, tomorrow. Group wants to send her back ASAP.

Yeah, thats funny seeing a "skeeter wing" with that patch
