Fingers crossed for good news for your daughter's health issue.

Any chance of a few words to describe what you've fabricated? Where do you get your ideas?

Aye Michael,

Sorry to read that your daughter is not well. I hope that the medics and yourselves can get some treatment underway and achieve a positive prognosis.

My thoughts, Bill

Morning chaps... many thanks for your thoughts regarding our daughter, possible kidney problems but STILL undergoing tests 🤞🤞
As regards the bike Matt, I've completely deseamed the petrol tank and added a flush fitting filler cap which I think was covered in a previous post a while back. There's been quite a bit of fab/welding work gone in to the frame, the obvious one is the rear loop which I bought in then cut and shut to suit the look I wanted, I then fabricated a little pocket into the rear of the loop to accept a mini LED rear light. I've fabbed up a couple of brackets the welded them to the rear subframe down tubes and to the crossmember above swinging arm pivot to accept the 10mm ally plate that I made to hang the oil tank from. I also made the ally footrest hangers from 10mm ally plate. I also formed the seat/seat hump. Where do I get my ideas? Good question Matt. Lots of places if I'm totally honest. Most of it comes from my head but such as the 10mm ally plate stuff I got most of the inspiration for that from big bro (propellor) all the shapes are drilled,sawn,filed and sanded by hand as are the stuff on "Norman" Andy 's mighty Enfield. The list goes on but I don't want to bore everyone. Like I say hopefully it will be down at Stafford fingers crossed🤞🤞..... cheers Michael

Has that oil tank mounting plate been done elsewhere, or is it Moto63 copyright protected !? ;D

Evening Matt... I've certainly never seen one used on an XBR before no, I did make something similar for my cafe racer to strap my waterproofs to when I went up to Scotland but that didn't actually hold the oil tank in place. I did also see something similar on a custom bike a few years ago which again was more of a cosmetic thing, so I put both ideas together and came up with the idea of holding the oil tank up with one. So now I have a custom oil tank holder upper and a waterproofs carrier all in one ... happy daze 😉🤘
Took some whittling up I'll tell ya

Oh and no it's not got a moto63 copyright on it...YET 😉👍
Cheers, Michael

Very generous, as always, thank you! I think I've got a battery in the way? It's box is held in place using the same bolts that go into the top of the oil tank.  Btw, I've definitely experienced some extra pep on the overtake around 4k with that mikuni flatslide of yours - loving that Brucey Bonus and I might fit a shorty silencer this Xmas to see if I can improve that flow. Then I can cut back the footrest hangers. One day, I might go all out for the full empty triangle... ;D

How do you confuse a politician? Put him in a round room and tell him there's £100 in the corner.  ;D
