Toreadorranger Build...2 years in the making

I like the half doors alot, most of them that I see just dont seem to be cut low enough to make it worth it.

Yea orginially I had less cut out from the door. But the more I looked at it I realized that if Im going to do it I might as well really make it a half door.

i'm curious to see how you hook up your fuel cell with the stock pump. I've been searching for a way to hook up my fuel via another tank/pump set up, but if i can keep my pump, (its fairly new anyways) and just get a fuel cell and drop it in, that would be great.

Im going to try and use a Bronco 2 tank with the stock pump.

I got my Transmission crossmember all squared away. It needs to be finish welded as its only tacked together right now. This is about my 4th design or so. The problem came from the fact that Im trying to fit this crossmember, my upper link and my lower link mount in to about 6-8" of space. The bushing ends are 2" .25 wall DOM, the tubing is 2"x2" 3/16th wall square, the gussets are 3/16th plate. It should be very solid. I got rid of the stock trans mount so this mounts directly to the trans and the bushings act as the trans mount now.

Glad to see another 82 yamaha but mine is an XJ1100 Maxium and it doesn't look stock either. Got it for free.

It has sportster lowering shocks on the back. The bars are some leftover CR bend dirtbike bars I had laying around. The tank is a XJ750 tank, which is nice cause its about 1 gallon larger its bare metal with a some clear coat over it.

I have to many projects. I picked up a 72 chevelle a couple weeks ago too.

The bike need the XJ1100 front so that it can have dual front brakes. They really help out just in case one of them fails.

Nah this bike is staying nice and cheap. Not putting anymore money into it.

Like the bike. *IF* the right parts were available for cheap, I'd do the twin front discs. I added a second disc on my 81 XS650 many years ago and the whoa factor went up a LOT!

Love the trans xmember, and the half doors...

Welded

Little bit of boxing on the frame for mounting purposes.

I also ordered some stuff today. If all goes to plan this should allow some much needed upper link clearance, might even let me lower the front end a couple inches.
