This is not my bike, but this is what it looks like right now! I can’t wait to put it all back together.

Progress? Yes… but after we decided that the production weld marks needed to be smoothed down. We sand blasted the frame and did some more grinding to have a nice clean frame for powder coating. More to come

Random photos from March and April
I am holding out on some updates because the progress on the XS has been a bit slow. 77Motos’ Tony has been busy working on some hot rods for other clients. I have been pretty busy myself, but here are some pictures from last month. More to come!
Here I am removing the tube braces on the rear. Preparing it for the seat pan bar.
Tank raised 1-1/2” and sitting on new mounts
Welding new “drilled-hole” gussets into place - BTW, Tony and Alex are selling Seven Seven Motos t-shirts! The front has a large 77 Motots logo on the chest and the back has an “All Soul No Glory” logo on the upper back as pictured above. Click here
I love how these look!
I have lots more pics to post but I’ll wait until you can see more progress on the bike. Stay tuned.

February 24, 2010 | My buddy Tony (sevensevenmotos.blogspot.com) and I decided to get our hands dirty today. After some tweaking the dormant Yamaha finally came to life. Tony was daring enough to take her for a spin under the condition it is in and this video is the result. There’s lots to do but the bike will be killer in the next couple months. I’ll keep you posted.

Update from November 2009
Very slow progress, but as of yesterday I have the the new forks on oiled and resealed. The custom clip-ons made by my buddy Tony Sandoval and the sandblasted tank and tail piece. More to come.
Oh yeah, this was taken with a camera phone. Sorry for the poor quality.
