The piece wae short so I added what I cut off of side to bottom to fill the rest of it.

Sorry I did not rake any pictures of reassembling it or making the mounts. I used Rust-Oleum Professional Grade Truck Bed Coating to paint it

Picked up a XP 2.0 for a swap meet cruiser

Picked it up for $500 supposedly has 8 miles on it guy had 2 bikes this one and a black 3.0 it had about 125 miles on it. Bought them for him and his wife for using at the RV camp grounds. Wife did not like riding it. So he rode his with out her. That caused issues while camping. So he was selling them. My brother took the 3.0 we bought them on a package deal for $1200. My brother offered to pay $100 more for the 3.0 so he paid $700 and I paid $500. I am a heavy weight I did not like the suspension seat bar was to rough and jerky for me. Also did not like the handle bars. I am more comfortable with with a sweptback bar. Also did a fender delete, added a handle to help lifting it. Working on building a rack and changing the seat to a nose less fatass design. More on those later.

Homemade band saw

Took an old Milwaukie band saw and made a stand up or bench top bandsaw out of it. It mounts to to stand with 2 bolts. That makes it easy to remove and use sitting on a bench. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
