Sup guys,

So, I got hold of an XT500 today! Super excited, because I've wanted a thumper for a while now (Thanks XTFREAK)!

So the plan for the bike is to build it into a bobber for a mate of mine to ride (He has had hip replacement surgery before so battles with the cafe racer riding position)! The bike has had some welding done to the frame to fit a TZR250 swing arm, but that's cool as I will build a brand new rear section! HARD TAIL BABY!!!

So, here's some piccies!
XT500 and TZR250


Complete XT motor with spare motor


Almost complete TZR motor (Crank buggered)



The plan for the bike, something along these lines...


But with this style of seat, only it will be a sprung seat!


So what do you guys think?
