Look at that, Yamaha already has accessories out for the bike!
So the plan is to do a Brat Style build. The iron of an American building a Brat out of a Japanese bike while the Japanese build them out of American bikes was just too much to pass up. With that in mind, it need a killer gas tank. Scored this from Yamaha to get us started. Super complex tank has a semi external fuel pump, a separate fuel level sender, a fuel return and a breather. Not an easy project, but Eric from Burly Brand has offered up his services to help make it happen.
His plan is to section out the center and then adjust the floor so it'll sit comfortable on the backbone.
Meanwhile, this was hiding under the tank. Spooky amount of stuff.
This is pic of tank I got last night. He trimmed off the entire pinch weld! Insanely cool.
It'll sit roughly here. High bars will add some proportion.
Oh man all the plumbing and electrical look grim.
While Eric is working on the tank I'll be building an exhaust and designing a new bar. Stay tuned for another action packed episode of Unbolting the Bolt.
