First start up

A little movie of the first start up after the stripping and the rebuild.

Electrics: Part ONE

One thing where I always was afraid for is the electronics. I didn't have that much electrics in school and I really sucked in it :p. So I looked in the internet for as much information as possible. Really helpfull sites:

But the most help I got from this site ( http://www.rabiator.de/ ) it is a project site from Jürgen how also has a Yamaha Virago XV250. There I found really good plans of the electrics. With the bare minimum of basics of electrics I was able to rewire the bike and let it start. I had however help of my buddy Joachim. This was for me a milestone because I did know that if I can let it run again I can finish the project.

I welded the gas tank mount back myself.

After the welding of the hardtail was ready I really could start with the project. The most difficult part is done ( I hope :) ). Now I putting the engine back in ( Heavy as hell ).
