Re: Blaster Bike
I like it! I've always said that xs500 tank is an excellent choice for custom builds.

Re: Blaster Bike
Its a shame all these spammers or bots or whatever they are.
This is a cool bike Jim, I agree with Johnu that is an awesome tank. i have an xs400 but it has the later rounder tank. I wish it had the earlier squarer tank similar to the one on your bike.
Did you build this pipe as well?

Re: Blaster Bike
Glad you like it. The pipe is a DG for an RD350.Bolted right on with no modifications and makes great power from 3000 up to 10,000.

Re: Blaster Bike
Of course i see now that you have right in the first post that it is the right chamber from an rd350. That's great that it works well on this setup, and that mixing and matching parts like that can turn out very well!

Re: Blaster Bike
Very nice and daring project.
That radial head is so sweet...
Believing it's within your capabilities, why not doing away with the extra metal on the frame front lower part, maybe adding a bolt-on skid plate?
