1976 Yamaha XS360 bobber project
last august i went and picked up this little thing for 300 bucks. it ran, but poorly due to broken carb bowl and other fuel leak issues
after about a week of ****ing around with it i got to work. stripped it down to see what of the frame needed to go
picked up a pair of zbars and had them sandblasted
then a buddy and i got to choppin it up at his shop.

IMAG0560.jpg?t=1319328149
moving back the rear wheel for the 4.5 inch stretch. measure, measure, and measure
IMAG0561.jpg?t=1319328129
4.5 inch stretch welded in for the frame fabricaiton
IMAG0562.jpg?t=1319328110
IMAG0563.jpg?t=1319328087
chop chop
IMAG0564.jpg?t=1319328065
end result after day one
picked up an sportster style tank
and a solo seat
mockin up the tank and seat
bottom part of the frame on
gettin close
seat mounts made
and this is how she sits as of now. all that needs to be done to have her ride-able is the wiring and carbs rejetted. carbs i can do, wiring im tarded with and am looking for someone to do it

Awsome build man. Lookin real good. I love buildin bikes. I would suggest, and only a suggestion.....add some type of brace (tube) to connect left to right on both the upper and lower sections you made. I see one brace looks to be where you attached the front of the seat? May add 1 more further back toward the wheel and definitely on the lower. Even though its a smaller CC, it can still tweak. Cant wait to see more pics. My cafe build went on the back burner due to dumping $1500.00 into my Jeep
