I am wanting to get some pipes like this i know there are lots of options to purcahse for an xs650 not too much for the 400. I do not have access to a welder or really know anyone that does so making it myself is not an option. I am sure a shop would charge an arm and leg for it. Any help/...

Ya I saw that, do you think they are stiff enough that 1 inch of travel will be enough? Thanks again man! Also, does anyone on here make custom pipes at all? Or have any for sale?

Hey guys, I have not been on here since end of last summer. I ended up selling my wife (1982 xs400) end of last summer on craiglist to afford a trip to south east asia for 2 months. I called the guy up last week and he still had it. Had not even put a km on it just sat in his dads garage. Needs...

I have told myself I will have a semi build thread on this bike. I will do so from now on. There will be lots of little changes and then this winter hopefully grab a hardtail kit from travis and then find someone to weld it for me. I called some shops in vancouver and they said it could be...

Hey guys, I am looking to get some new bars. Here is a photo of the bike with out bars. I dropped the forks as far as they will go for now as they hit the bars. I am thinking maybe some clip ons on the upper part of the fork? I also want to change up the front head light. Get rid of the light...

I may also be able to ship it out of blaine washington if your not in too big of a rush. I am down there once a month ususally. That will cut the cost in half

Shipping is pretty expensive considering it is international. Id say around 50 bucks for shipping.
