so im just wondering if a chain tensioner is nessary and if anyone else has one. im running a 120 link chain, but i have a swingarm. i see alot of the the hardtails use them, but cant find a pic of a streched swingarm with one. any info helps. thanks

thanks. i streched the swingarm 3.25" i welded a rod on the underside for support. as for the seat, i cut the frame off around where the factory tank bolts on. 7/8" .120 wall tubing. i work at a exhaust shop so to bend the pipes i put them in the vice and with even heat they bent perfect. i used...

here are a few pics of how i covered the frame tube ends.

what i ended up doing is building my own glass packs. 1 3/4" core with a 2" case. cant wait to hear it. the sissy bar is removable,i needed something to attach a bag to. this will be my commuter bike and i always seem to have something to haul. i used the bracket for the sissy bar to cover the...

the factory tank just didnt look right, and there is no such thing as a cheap tank.

i have tried a few tanks. didnt think i would like it but hey it was free and will have to do

ha it worked

this is a tank i took off an old triumph parts bike of my dads. looks like a sportster tank to me. i took out coil brackets.

Im trying to find a mini speedo and tach. I have a '80 xs400. i guess what im wondering is what is the ratio for the drives. is the speed 1:2 and the tach is that like 1:5? will the ones from mikes xs fit? any info helps, Thanks

all im trying to do Drewpy is let others know that hey, an exhaust shop can help me and will save some money over going to a parts store. That and the pipe is much heavier at an exhaust shop.

would need to ship to MN, but what would you want for the orange tank?

i work in a familey owned exhaust shop. the smallest pipe most shops can bend is 1.5". we only charge like $5 for each adapter. it all depends on the shop. I find myself doing lots of crazy little jobs like this for people.

i think im going to try either a axed or alien tank from TC Bros. Sorry to say but in my oppion is the only place for sporty tank is on a sportster.

ok i have stupid question. what all would i have to do if i do decide to cut out the 2 extra backbones. Would it be just welding in some well placed gussets?

Hey sgrudier when you figure out what your going to do let me know. This bike is exactley what i have in mind for my '80 xs400. The only thing i have been debating is where im going to cut the frame, it would be so much easier if my frame was like this tono one. any info helps. glad to see the...
