Rounded the side on the top of the seat to follow the rounded edges of the tank.

       Just came across your build. And all I can say is, I am totally hooked on following this build. I wish I had Welding & Painting skills, like I have seen on the builds I have looked into.

        Can't wait to see this come together, sounds Awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us here.  ;)

Quick update, spokes are getting done and should have them in a week-2 weeks.  Getting my hubs powdercoated and then can lace the wheels.

Also got the ractech goodies coming for the forks, kevin is working on the lower triple and race axle for me (ttr400) and framecrafters got my specs sent to racetech for my shocks. 

Crank is in que for work at ape, Miker sent my rods off and all machine work is getting done now. 

Alot to go but timeline looks good for april to fire the bike (fingers crossed)

Seat and tank look super and that swing arm is really going to stand out. Anxious to see the frame when you get it painted.

Oh ya.  Coming together nicely!!!!!  Lots of shiny parts to play with.  The swing arm will be sweet.  What is the damage on something like that if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you!  For Framecrafters to build one it's between 750-1000 based on options.  When I was getting pricing for a mc-again or ueda alloy swingarm it was looking to be 1100-1400

        With all that you are doing on this build an are going to do, I was already anxious to see the results and now, With all the talk about how you are going to paint the frame, I am even more anxious.  8) ;)

Thank you!  I've always wanted to smooth and base clear a frame.  Better be worth it in the end!  My fingers are still killing me from sanding the frame!

Well had a couple Hondas come in this weekend for some love.  A local swap messed the cl350 up and had it for 2 years!  Also check out this wiring job.  Almost every wire is red. Does help narrow down wiring issues, which wire is it? The red one!

How are you including your images? I can't view them on Chrome or on Internet Explorer.  Curious why that is happening on my end...

EDIT > just copied one of the links... Looks like it is Tapatalk links to images and since I can't view it on my tablet or desktop using any browser I guess it is an issue for me with Tapatalk links being broken for any attachments.  Since I am not running Tapatalk.  That's my theory.



Thanks!

Been slacking on progress here.  Got my metal flake and a sata with a tip for shooting it.  Will do some test panels next week.  Frame is ready for primer surfacer and bodywork is going into primer soon too.  Got my tires, spokes and tubes in.  Just waiting for my hubs to come back from powdercoat.  Also my racetech springs and gold valves will be here soon.

All this progress in a month! Great inspiration for my 400F. Was hoping by the time I got to page 4 of this thread the frame would have been painted  ;D looking forward to seeing that! That swingarm too, nice!

Frame is in last coat of primer.  I'll let it cure then sand then it's ready to paint!  Sorry for the horrible quality of the pic.
