[joshr08]

Well i brought the newest project home today and wasted no time ripping into it tonight.The bike im stripping is a 98 with a bent frame.  The bike i will be building is a 95.  I am hoping to have this frame completey stripped to a bare frame and ready to through it out the back door tomorrow.  Then i will roll in the frame for the start of the build.  Here are some pics from how it looked when i got it home until about 20 mins ago when i dropped the motor out.

Here it is sitting in the work room before stripping



Heres what i got done in about 2 hours of work with help from the wife.  Next bike she gets to do by herself.....




Heres the bike that i will be putting back together.



Stay tuned for more pics and updates on the build you know how i roll and this thing could be on the road by the end of next week....lol

This looks like a BIG job to do, but should look good when done

shouldnt be to bad i got it to this point in about 2 hours of work.  I am hoping to have the motor in the other frame tomorrow and have everything that i have all bolted on the new frame by the end of the weekend.

thanks yama   oh and i forgot to mention Im also redoing my bathroom too.....no need to only work on one thing at a time.

[REAP]

Sure there is, do the bike first. Who needs a bathroom anyway, the bike is way more important 

[joshr08]

[joshr08]

Ok guys its starting to look more like a bike by the minute heres more pics for you

[REAP]

This is what I see: Lots of cables and metal. Im glad I bought my bike new and dont have to worry about anything like this 


PS: Blue looks good 

[joshr08]

im not worried either i have a 05 gs sitting out in the shed and a 88 vtr250 in the shed as well that i redid.  

[utgunslinger13]

Wow, moving along real quick!  When do you think you will have it done?

[joshr08]

depends on how much i can spend on parts before getting moved to the couch.....lol

[utgunslinger13]

lol well your last "project" made you triple what you put out, so she should understand why you need to spend the money!

[LOUiE]

i would budget at least 50% of your spending on beer.  It has a way of making things get done.  Just slower.

but seriously, nice work.  Where'd you find the 2nd frame?  and did you have to fix it up or paint it, etc?

[joshr08]

I actually got 2 frames with the bent frame as a package deal.  i didnt paint the frame as it is in pretty good shape and i didnt have to fix anything on the frame either.  its all very solid and looks like its spent most of its time inside.

[LOUiE]

sweet!

[ohgood]

[jetboy287]
