    how to hard tail a xs400. any ideas?

    Hehe, no rear fenders do look cool, until it rains and you rooster tail mud for 300 miles. Then, you're that guys at the bar with what looks like a questionable mud trail up your rear end :)

    Thanks for the listings! Love Omars site "It's perfect I won't have to change this at all!" had me cracking up and wanting to watch the Jerk again. I almost bought a flat track seat/cowl similar to what the listings show, but I guess I'm a really frugal wench and want to DIY as much as I...

    Thanks Hardtail, that would be much easier than making a mold. Now if I can only find the same darn tank that is not over priced. Firegatejeeyamaha- you should check out Scott and Tiny's bikes at Cochise Choppers the next time you take a trip to Bisbee, and eat at the Breakfast Club (cafe...

    Not yer mama's XS.....

    I will never look at bathroom "shitter rails" the same way ever again. That really created a nice long lean exhaust, love it!

    Me too! Hardtailed77, I'm finding it hard to find a pre-made squared off cowl that will flow with it. So, I'm carving some foam to create my own, but now I'm unsure how I'm going to connect the carbon fiber to a seat pan and seat pan to frame. I've only molded sculptures, so I'm hoping a lot of...

    Also, figured out the throttle situation, it was just a little sticky, and needed some good ole WD40, and wiggling.

    XS400 Parts

    http://www.mikesxs.net/ has a few things you can fit on an xs400, but like Dewpy said you will have to adapt/modify everything.

    Very happy that it started! but when it started for the first time, the throttle is wide open, the throttle is forward and it's still on wide open. My husband had to kill it immediately. Fired it three more times and the same thing. So, we have to look into that... We're thinking the throttle...

    Hey there! Just got my 79' xs 400 running, so I'm relieved and excited for what is to come with this darn thing. It's ratty, found it in Bisbee, AZ for $300, plus the guy gave me a Triumph hardtail, some HD forks, and tires, so I couldn't pass that up. The bike sat in the ghetto alley for a...
