I know how you all love seeing builds, so here's another.  Popped down to the good Mr Stix's today (very good to meet you sir), and picked up his XL600 that he'd been advertising on the forum. Got it home and just couldn't resist starting to pull it apart! As it arrived:  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?! Took off that wiring stuff!!  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?!  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?! And ended up, about an hour ago with this:  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?! As for the direction this build is going to go, I'm not sure yet, but thinking cafe racer!!! |

Nice to meet you also Clive not what I expected!!! No handle bar tache or sheepskin flying jacket, not even a leather pilots hat. Looks like a couple more hours and you will have it ready for the road  . Enjoy your trip to the States and I look forward to the new build when it starts. Stix |

Back from Texas, and using working on this to combat jet lag!! Still stripping down:  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?!  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?! Not the easiest of bikes to work on I must say. Everything seems to have at least two pipes and a couple of cables!! |

Morad are a huge Spanish rim maker, mainly for the off road market as replacement rims. I had them on a big KTM and found they had been added later. If you Google them they have a very interesting website you may find useful.

Seeing as I have managed to somehow fracture my elbow, I spent the day pottering in the garage doing bits and pieces. Got the rear shock sorted:  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?! And the swing arm:  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?! Gave the frame a de-grease, and trimmed a few 'unwanted' pieces off of it:  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?!  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?! And tried the XS tank on for size. Not sure if it's too big, have just ordered a smaller Xs400 one to see if that looks more in scale:  Clive's XL.......errrr, not sure yet!?! |
