Subframe Fab Work

Got some work done on the Virago over the weekend. Borrowed a friend's pipe bender and cut and bent some subframe supports to where I wanted them. I also cut and drilled out some bar stock that will be where the supports get bolted on to the frame. Existing bolt holes on the stock Virago frame are in a perfect location to build off of. I had a friend of mine help out a little bit with his lathe and milling machine to square up the bar stock, put notches in the pipes, and weld the pieces together. He's an old vet that can literally fix/fab anything. He rides a Harley Sportster 1200 that is in absolutely showroom condition. He also smokes like a chimney, drinks a Busch Lite for breakfast, and is healthy as a horse at 71. Here's some pics:
