yamkwakhonuki build
« on: January 28, 2011, 03:29:35 PM »
mission statement: create a bike out of parts from the 4 leading Japanese manufacturers(cheaply)
parts list; Yamaha XS400 motor
              Suzuki GS550 katana frame
              Honda Xl250S triples and forks
              Kawasaki KL250 swingarm
              Yamaha TT250 tank
              Honda CB350 front wheel
              unknown origin back wheel

             various other bits and pieces lurking in the dark recess of my garage, might even throw in a couple of Harley bits for balance.

timeline.....................................................................no pressure

If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.
