disgustipated

for those of you who are curious as to what i'm building, here is the gist of it. It's a 1980 Yamaha xs650 motor (vertical twin), hardtail frame, apes, etc... It's going to have heavy influences from the hot rod/kustom car look. Basically semi-flat black with some old-school pinstriping on the tank and fender.

some may ask, why a Yamaha motor? a) it was cheap. 2) this is my first ground up build, and if i'm going to chuck something, i'd much rather it be a $150 yammie, than a old Triumph/BSA/Norton/Shovelhead that was actually worth something.

here are a couple examples...
