Adding a frame bar

A bit more progress on the 81 naked XL185


With a section of scrap bar stock I added a support cross bar to give something for a battery/regulator/solenoid to mount to.


Predrilled some 5.5mm holes and thread tapped to M6.


Don't make the mistake of welding with bare bolt threads ( I had to cut them down and throw them out)


bit of flap disk and some dremel made the welds less shit and I wringed the last splurt of paint out of the can to cover it up and stop rust...


Next will be some cardboard aided design (CAD) for the actual Battery box.
