This Project is Really start from scratch, with the origin shape of Yamaha XJ550 1982. then all the bodyparts are removed, and Brodie starts working. after XJ550's body removed, the rear shockbreakers also removed so we can see what's going next.

we all see that the rear frame is contact with the tire/wheel so he used to trimmed that frame off so the swing arm, wheel and the main frame can work properly and this XJ550 can run as well. after the frame cut off all the way, the rear fender and seat tube have made.



But in the end of the ideas, Brodie decided to make a brand new tube frame to scratch the wheel behind and lowered the ground clearance.
