83 xs400 Maxim Build

[83xs400]

correct, this is no front brakes. ive had it out on the town a few times and just using rear brake works fine. you just have to keep your distance from cages and etc...

Love the build. I would put some polish to that engine just to put the cherry on top.

 

[83xs400]

that sounds like a lot of work, and im pretty lazy...just going to get dirty with all the construction going on in our town...maybe this winter

very neat! where have you hid the rectifier and fusebox? so tidy looking now!

 

[83xs400]

i no longer have a fuse box, just put in some inline fuses and they are easier to hide and more reliable set up, everything else is hidden behind the battery box and between the fender on under the swing arm

haha I only just noticed the eye you used to plug your tachometer cable hole

nice one

 

[83xs400]

actually the eye spins because i cut the cable off and didnt remove it the proper way ... just lazy like that

 

[willem]

ah thats awesome

Its needs to matching tires, but im not sure if i want the style on the front or the style on the rear...

What Kawasaki model tank did you use. I'm building a bobber and finding a better looking tank that fits the backbone is a PITA. At this point I will try any tank. Also did you have to do any mods to the Kawasaki tank?
