Got sick of running my low tracker style bars on my harley 48, so i decided to make a set of bars out of some 1" tube i had laying around... Nothing fancy...
Pretty happy with how they came out... but if i was going to do it again i think i would have only gave them a 5" rise and a little more degree of sweep... practice makes perfect...

Brat Frame Prep
Had a few areas to finish welding on this xs 650 frame. Welded everything up and decided to shave the stock master cylinder mounts off of the frame... Cut the mounts and welded the bosses back in place and ground it down... came out pretty clean... should be ready to paint the frame and forks today hopefully...

Brat Bike Tear Down
Well it started snowing and got pretty cold here over the past week or so. Time to buy some paint and tear down the Bratty Yamaha to finish it. Got bored saturday night and tore everything off of the frame. Finished a couple of welds for some mounts, and drilled some holes to mount the coil properly. Amazing that an entire bike will fit on a small table...
Gonna be alot of grinder work and painting over the next week or so... should be fun...
