  • This is the fifth episode of my $600 Chopper project currently known as the Banana Hammock.
    !!!!!GIVEAWAY!!!!!
    Comment what you think should be the new name of the finished Banana Hammock. Ill be picking my 3 favourite and putting it to a vote on instagram. The winner gets a EasyDoesIt X OzChopShop Merch pack! Check my instagram for details.
    Big thanks to ‪@ThrottleDownunder‬ for helping out with all the nice B-roll shots, make sure you give him a follow if you aren't already!
    The plan was to turn this little XV250 into a cool little chopper, that I can lend out to friends that are interested in getting into motorcycles. And with the help of some friends, I think we smashed it out of the park. Im extremely happy with how it all turned out.

    I've got an 1989 XV250 in England (US import as they didn't make it over here) Done a few things to it, but this is the nicest XV250 I've seen by far.

    • @EasyDoesitmoto
      @EasyDoesitmoto  2 роки тому +1

      It’s fixed in two points. At the bottom of the sissy bar is a tab, that goes over the lower strut mounts on the swing arm. The other it fixed to the rear fender with a bolt and a bunch welded to the bar.
