hey Lucho you can send me email better. it is easier to access and send pictures ect. Lou0973@sbcglobal.net

yes sir dual disk, sorry i forgot to mention!

no sweat buddy. on that bike if i remember right the front end was off of a cb350. can't remember for sure, it's been a couple years

hey lucho, the rear wheel is a 21" Harley wheel. I buy a blank sprocket with the amount of teeth I want and then I drill the harley bolt pattern to mount it to the wheel. the disk is just a Harley bolt on disk.

thanks buddy

ok, the handle bars measure: 10 inches tall, 7 1/2 inches at the bottom, 2 1/2 inches at the top (between the pointy parts) and 18 1/2 inches at the grips (from end to end)

hey lucho do you want the measurements for the bars in the picture you made drawings on? or the ones I have on the bike after I painted it? they are two different set of bars. I will measure both of them for you. i'll be back tonight I am just leaving to the shop now.

I don't remember exactly but I believe they where 8-10 inches tall. I am going to the shop to work today. I will measure them and then let you know tonight for sure.

hi and thankyou for posting. I used 2 pairs of handlebars to make this set for the bike. they are 7/8". I didn't take any pictures of the bars when I made them. I just cut out the straight sections from the 2 bars and welded them back together. they are about 8-10 inches tall.

I used to make temporary jigs from different frames I would work on. it is not impossible but time consuming. in my humble opinion, it is hard to have a universal jig that would allow you to do much more than just weld the general "main" part of the frame. I make a lot of chops and still find...

I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in for good measure. all depending on what your exact plan for welding is. if you plan on doing sheetmetal and minor fabbing on your frame then buy the welder you mentioned. if you plan on doing some major mods on the frame such as structural ect. I would buy a...

the major thing it has going for it is that there is not a cooler xs400 in my area for sale. i'm a reasonable guy and would be open to offers except trades. I am ready for the long haul need be.

lucho I saw your add in the classifieds. I don't really know much about the xs400 models but what is a 2A2 tank?

thanks man! i'm lovin the little beast. currently up for sale in the classifieds

here is my latest project complete and up fur sale. it is a 1978 yamaha xs400. I basically gave the frame a mild facelift on the tail section and neck area. made a tank, fender, handlebars and seat for it. everything was tore down for paint and powder coating. it has new tires and runs awesome...

hey guys just wanted to post the final pics of this project. I pretty much buttoned it all up today and got her up fur sale in classifieds. I was able to fix the cold starting problem by following the advice a fellow board member on here (put the air filters on!) thanks for the help folks...

cool, thanks for the tip. I usually throw the airfilters on at the end of the show but I will try putting them on today as well as messing with the fuel/air mixture screws. I didn't check to see where they were set at.

hey guys, I finished wiring up the bike today. just need to finish the seat tomorrow and ride time!!! this is the first time I started it up since I brought it to the shop several months ago.........damn this thing sounds sweet! I have cut up several smaller cc bikes like cb400's xs400's ect but...

thankyou! I love brazing, it is relaxing. you can keep up with more of my builds and such on face book at Louisbuilt Choppers. (just my salesmanship yapping, sorry!)
