Stumbled on to this. Nice Cinematography.Cool Flathead in this, the rest is questionable...

CX500 - Weekly Update

Moved on to the seat this week. I always wanted to try making a fiberglass seat pan, to compare the time and effort spent against the metal version. So with a little cardboard and some smellyness, I pulled it off. I machined up some billet spacers and made some mounts so that the pan could be rubber mounted. So far so good.

CX500 - WEEKLY UPDATE

So still building in the recycling my old stuff mode, I built a tail section from an old fender, some rod I can't remember the source of,and some sheet metal that I used to use for a mini wlding table. I also came up with a mount for the tag, peace style.

The One Motorcycle Show - Austin

Weekly Update CX500

I Switched from the rear end to work on the exhaust, just had an idea I wanted to try. I used some original exhaust pieces and some other aluminized mandrel bent tubing left over from an old project. Think it worked out ok. I will be adding more details to the pipes in the future, but for now they are good enough.

Weekly Update CX500

Finished up the fab work on the front end and moved in to the back. Wish I had the time to make everything light as possible or machine everything out of aluminum, but not for this bike. Just trying to get this thing rideable and respectable.

Fabricated Clip Ons

Always wanted to try making clip ons,and it worked out great. A little tricky to make, but worth the effort. Shaved the top triple tree. Fork caps seem to be magnesium, have two npt ports, and have Los angles stamped in them? Hmmm? Reused my harley headlight, added Kawasaki controls.
