posted a new picture of what the final outcome COULD be... this is a mock shifter that will be replaced with a Twisted steel one, and also include a suicide clutch... bike is super comfortable to ride already... :-)

posted a new picture.... mock up of what COULD be....

Thanks very much for the input... I truly appreciate your advice.... I am thinking as Old school Bobbed as I can, and still keep the Mono Shock... I have made a little progress since my last post, but not much, as you say, with two kids.... time is hard to find.... BUT my boys are both in...

going to have a look for it right now... thanks very much... i'm getting excited.... this is my first Solo build...:bike:

" Are you confident that Yamaha engineers would have overbuilt the other frame members enough to account for them?" I had indeed questioned that my self... However... with this being an 82/83 I almost wonder if they were not prepared for us to put the Ridgid Bar in.... I mean, they made it...

Hey All... about to start chopping and hacking my 83 XS4 400... going to Leave the Mono-Shock IN.... any tips on cuts and welds to make this happen better?? :banghead::bike:

well, I guess I must have got lucky on this buy then.... b/c the PO has taken very good care of this bike.... everything seems to be as it should, and it runs like a dream, even with the aftermarket Pipes that are on it... The only down side I have found thus far is the location and length of...
