Hey Guys, Ive got a 1982 XS400 monoshock rear end which I am converting to a bobber, I'm struggling to find a fuel tank that fits the width of the frame. Ive tried 80's sportster tank which are 6cm across the bottom centre mount. The width of my frame is 8.5cm-9cm. Would love to know if anyone...

Hello! Brand new here. I'm not new to riding, but this is my first project bike. I've wrenched on my old 96 XJ for the last 8 years (anyone interested? she's for sale). I just scooped up an 82 and looking for a good place to start. She'll crank up but I know I need a clutch rebuild and rear...

Sold

I am selling my custom made 1981 Yamaha XS400 Special "Brat Style" cafe racer. I literally built this thing with blood sweat and tears. I love her dearly but it's time for me to get something bigger. Serious inquiries only. I'm not in any rush to sell her so no low ballers. $2,500 OBO. I am also...

So I found a trimmed down schematic for an 81 and I've followed it making my own slight modifications to fit what I need and I'm using a stock key ignition but otherwise I stuck to it.my question is that there is only one fuse on the main power wire can I run it like that? I understand if it...

Hey guys, so I just bought an 81 xs 400 and want to customize it. I was thinking either a bobber or a café racer, I like both ideas. I have a lot of experience with motors and electronics, and basically everything except fabrication/welding. I was wondering what build would have the least amount...

I bought the hard tail kit from voodoo vintage and I have a longer axle because this end makes it 1 inch longer. My question is what can I use for spacer to fill in the distance between the wheel and frame.

So my upcoming project will be a hardtailed XS400 bobber. After reading the requirements for state inspection, I am finding that there is stuff required by my state (NH) that I do not want to add to my bike build. Mirror, muffler, speedo, and horn in particular. Now I have ridden in NH for...

Hello folks, been a long time since I have spent any real time on here. Sadly the XS has been way down the list recently but I started back on her today. Been so long since I worked on her I couldn't actually remember what was needed so I gave her a look over and slowly the reasons why I...

Finally finished my 400 bobber. Attached peanut tank and added a very artistic sissy bar. Very pleased with how it came out. Hope you guys like it!
