Bart-Maxim
XS400 Member
Hi guys,
Let me introduce myself first, my name is Bart from the Netherlands a last year i scooped up a XS400 maxim as a daily driver while completing my 92' XJ900F scrambler build. Fact is that its getting cold and my brakes jammed (Again!) on the Maxim after a complete revision.. So since I can't drive it due to winter insurance (no driving old timers from November till March) I'm planning to do some updates. For starters I'm going to do a front end swap this will include a pair of RS125 forks, Ducati disc brakes, 78' wheels front and rear, new tires and so on. Next will be the tank and seat, I have an older model XS400 tank (not sure which year exactly) but it is the same one as on the picture. Also I'm going to rebuild my spare engine block with a 6 speed gear box. Pod K&N filters and a big fat Shinko E270 5.00 at the rear should make the bike look like a million bucks. As far as mufflers go I still don't have the faintest idea...
Picture is from a XS400 cafe with a look I like to achieve.
