no brake cable, hydraulic brakes.

i have tham, but the brake lever is bent, and i can't find the back part of the strap for the MC.

sorry, everyone, i suck. but I'm back, and now with pictures!

if you still need, i have one

Alright, well, its been a few days, i know- but, for the most part, im done. waiting on my brake light switch, jets, and i need to make a new throttle cable. here she is, in all her glory (will be having the paint done over the winter)-

it's coming along, a little bit. got my controls mounted, threw together a handlebar at work. have a couple other bikes going now, new baby- well, 9mos. new job, a lot going on. mostly i just need to mount the tank, coils, make front and rear brake stays, and wire.

He sent me the bushings with the kit, and i made my own axle and spacers. My stock axle was exactly 1" too short, so the complete length, plus the threads again. I'm not sure who makes/sells axles, but I'm fortunate to have access to a lathe and stock at work.

FWIW, the Voodoo Vintage XS400 kit comes out 1" wider... i had to make a new axle and spacers... its normal.

no instructions, but it's pretty intuative. if you dont have a jig, you should really look into how others have done rigids without one- also, it will be ~1" wider at the axle tabs, so plan on having an axle made.

I'm sorry, edited to reflect- i am using the wheels and front suspension.

I have everything but engine, frame, wheels, forks, and charging bits for a '79- will post pictures when i get out to the garage. Everything is make offer, and I'm more than reasonable- i need your dollars way more than i need parts lying around. Until i post pics, ask, and ill let you know...

i think the turn signals are boned, but ill go out and look. i'll pm you after i look.

I can set you up with everything you need, provided 79 parts will fit.

Friend let me raid his attic, came up with a 21" spoke wheel from an old YZ.. slowly but surely... at this rate, I'll be done in another 10 years- give or take..

well, I've made some progress, got my 16'' rear wheel, thanks to NA3S, and smacked out the lower rear mounts. I have another thread about the uppers, and the distance from the backbone to the mount points is exactly the length of an XS400 con-rod, so perhaps i can do something with that, as I...
