So, since I've jumped in up to my waist, I figured I'd start my own project thread. Nothing you peeps haven't seen before, but whatthehey, here's mine anyway

Couple more views (yes, the garage is a hole at the moment, please ignore, haha)

And we have frame.

My modest home setup, getting ready to do work. Later, the frame will get dragged into work for TIG finishing work, some brazing to fill, and fine-grit sanding/smoothing.

Some of the cutting and MIG fill-in done, all wire tabs gone, fuel tank rubber mounts cut/smoothed. Had to make and add a reservoir tab, got happy with the cutoff, lol.

Some parts have started showing up. I've kept an Excel spreadsheet to track vendor, part, cost, etc, wish I hadn't, gets deep quick. All bolts are bagged and tagged and in them bins, I'd be lost if not for that.
So. There it is. The scope for this portion of the build is to replace all bearings, bushings, and seals. Cables and controls are being replaced as well. Suspension is being addressed, as well as cosmetics (smooth frame, powdercoat Jockey Blue by Prismatic, black arms, black swinger, blue accents). Engine work will have to come next winter, as I'd like to get some ride time in this year. Enjoy, I'll post more as it happens.
