[QUOTE="Deoodles, post: 194254, member: 8270"] I thought today would be a good time to update this build thread. I brought the frame to my welder this morning. The mods he will do are; weld in 2 brackets to the top of the drop down tubes. It’s for an oil cooler. He will also install a custom made plate to mount the 12v regulator. The 12v battery box will also be modded and brackets welded under the seat. The box will be bolt in. I drilled the spot welds out for the gas tank/seat mount bracket. These bikes have a “V” shape to the lines where the seat and tank meet. I’m raising that point 3/4” to straighten out the look. There will also be spacers welded to the top of the frame for the seat rubber cushions to rest on. The rear frame loop on an XL70 is slightly higher than an SL70 that means an SL70 seat won’t really fit properly the back of the seat hits the loop in the back. The fix is to heat the frame and bend it down about 1/2”. Also have a front fender mount that needed to be shortened so that’s on the list as well as adding 2 1/2” to the kickstand. I needed that to compensate for the ST90 rear swingarm and wheel setup. When I get it back I will again mock it up and make any corrections if needed then send it to be powder coated. Lots more to this build but these are just the physical mods for now. [/QUOTE]
