pics coming soon. here are where we are at. This bike was my first motorcycle. got her when i was 16 and immedietly started drag racing it. had 1500 original miles on her, added about another 150 miles a pass at a time. ran a best of 14.89 at 89mph. Fast forward a few years and i started...

well...its a modified frame. but not a full custom frame? lol

coming soon to a track near you. im not dead, just been working my but off at the new job. the xs400 is in the frame jig. going with a modified stock frame.

little sneak peak.

not true...im still here. i am finishing up with machining school. have been trying to get my home shop done as well. I have a lighter crank...will decide what to do after that. Also have a vintage dragbike frame I picked up...its coming together slowly!

problem is finding those xjr1300 rods here in the states, we didnt get that model. BUT we can buy aftermarket FJ rods.

hell why cant we use the stock liners to 78 or so mm?

talked to a couple guys, from the LOOKS of it, the rod CAN be enlarged to accept a 17mm wrist pin. so now we can use the Raptor 250 pistons which was my plan all along. Also, xschris, did you take the photos of the cylinders? if so, can you measure something for me? crazypj said if you measure...

the parts diagrams show the info i was looking for i believe!

i ebayed some pics of xs400 cranks and xs360 cranks. it does indeed look different from the angles as far as i can tell. now, the reason for all this? im building a land speed bike.

xs400 part #- 2A2-11411-00-00 xs360 part # 1L9-11411-00-00

or 2lbs 1.86 ounces

http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4854 according to this guy, 960 grams lighter.

you make a great point xschrist. i have both motors, ill have to tear em down and see how close the studs are. i know the dohc has wider cylinder spacing. worst case scenario, i have the lighter xs360 crank on the way, ill mate that up with some 70-71mm pistons and be done.

and I have a bigger bike, how fast ya wanna go?
