I think the fishtails are 30" if I remember right....just cheapos from ebay. As far as the seat, not much more to show. It's super easy though, that is a larosa seat and I just simply bolted the front pivot mount to the gas tank bolt. Nothing to it at all.

got em off ebay, cheap. Theyre made for bigger pipes so I used reducer sleeves and 4" long baffles. They sound mean as hell

they're a direct bolt on, no issues at all

A local shop made these for me..but from what I have been told there are DIY kits available, I think motion pro makes one

Seca 400 engine ('82) motor cranks, carbs need rebuilt or maybe just cleaned. I bought it to put in a project bike but am not going to use it. Motor is in Terre Haute, Indiana. Local pick-up only. Price is $100 cash/firm

that sucks....looks like I might have a Seca motor for sale pretty soon then

Okay guys...this has probably been addressed but I didn't find it!!! My question is, will a seca engine bolt into a regular XS??????? I haven't had the time to really study the similarities and differences yet....but I picked up a butchered Seca and need a motor for my XS360. Think it'll work?????

I have a lot of polishing to do yet, including both brake drums. I will most likely polish those when I get new tires so I only have to take the wheels off once. It will probably be close to spring time before I get to it though

Well, I finally got around to getting the bike back together. I must say it was a real pain in the ass running all those wires through these skinny little bars!! Took the bike for a few shakedown runs yesterday and it is really a blast to ride!! I still have a few odds and ends to do before...

I used the narrow stuff (1" wide) I just went out to my shop to se if I still had the package and I don't, sorry. I'm guessing it was probably 50 feet since I still have a shitload left

the engine was painted when I got it...I just sanded and polished the fins (started with a grinder and worked up in grit from there) as for removing the dust from between the fins...150 PSI through a blow gun works great

:thumbsup::thumbsup: It's all good!! Now that he has the peace of mind with my domestic situation, perhaps we can get back to the motorcycle :bike::bike: I coulda posted pics of both her and the kids workin on it....guess maybe I should have LOL

Leo...as with our other projects, she has been involved in every aspect. The apes, for example were in fact her idea as she thought she felt like she was laying down on the bike with the stock bars. The other side of that coin for example..I wanted to go to an 18" rear wheel, but in measuring we...

I don't quite know how to take your inquiry......hence the lack of response. I build bikes and she supports ALL my builds, she's happy that this one is for her. Is that what you're looking for??

Nah...I have my bike. Sometimes though when I start to build things get a little out of control LOL!!!! She will be fine learning on it, won't be hard to ride at all. And to Pork Chop: yeah it can be time consuming, but this design is pretty simple so the tank and fenders didn't take too...

In a nutshell....yeah, kind of. The difficult (and time-consuming) part is making it look like a part of the metal itself as opposed to merely being laid on top of it. Most of my work is oftem mistaken for airbrushing until it is looked at more closely. Really gets em scratchin' their heads at...

Well guys...since winter is coming here in Indiana, and I just can't leave well enough alone, the bike is back apart again. Since I incorporated three-dimentional graphics on my Harley build, I decided to do a little 3-D work on this bike as well. Here's a little sneak peek. More pics coming soon

these carbs are finicky little things!!! Can be a real pain...make sure you have fuel feeding them and if you do it's time to pullem back apart

Check again to make sure thae carbs a totally clean. Are the float bowls filling up??? Also check the petcock in the tank to see if it is flowing fuel...not sure if a 78 has a vacuum line to the petcock or not so set the petcock to prime and see if there is fuel flowing

Looks great!!!!!!! Keep the big tank..I kept mine after trying several other options. Might take a look at the fender I made for the rear of mine..it was cheap and would work for your build. If you can't find my build thread let me know and I will post a pic for ya
