My 79 xs400 build

no they are for a cb650 lol but the shifter arm and brake arm have the same amount of splines as the xs400, its a ebay kit i ordered but it will work just fine on it and only paid 50 for the kit

Ooops, it looks like a couple typos. The original posting says they are for a CB750. Also it's showing the price as $79 plus $55 shipping to the US.

The guy makes cafe seats as well. I asked him about making one for a XS. I'll let you know what he says.

Im confused.....the link you posted said the rearsets are for a cb750 dohc.

So should I contact him and ask about a set for the 82 cb650 or the cb750?
 
Thanks for all the details; this makes adding rear-sets a very reasonable modification.

How does the side stand sit when it is folded up? Is it in the way at all? I had to lengthen mine because I raised the rear so much.

I'm curious as to how this would work with my exhaust. I have a 2-1, but my pipe is much bigger and runs up the side of the bike.

what do you mean side stand? and my exhaust comes out the right hand side
 
I meant how does the side stand sit on the left hand side. I am just wondering if it will interfere or get in the way when it's folded up.

I might be mixing you up because I will likely have fitment issues on both sides with my current setup.

Contact info for the maker of the rear sets: vietbac_pham@yahoo.com

Here is his response to whether he can make a seat and tailpiece like this one but for an XS:

"I could make it at the same price but please base on the dimension in attached photo to measure your seat and send it back to me. It will be off the ebay.
Thanks"

He sent an image with all the dimensions he needs but I can't seem to copy it for here. You'd have to write him yourself.

bennett: thanks for the hook up.

Hope this helps.
 
Bennett,Just stumbled on your posts...Terrible about the break in, glad they got the rat...Didn't realize another XS400 café guy lived so close...Weather hasn't been any good for ridin down our way. You have done some nice stuff and great info too...See you on the road one of these days..I always carry a 9....Bill
 
Bennett...in the pic the toe piece on the shifter is facing the wrong direction....did yours come that way? Is it just bolted and you switched it around?

Does the kick start pedal clear the rearsets?
Any idea if the rearsets would clear a stock exhaust?
