XS400 New Member
New member here. My wife just bought a 1980 xs400 special for $65 at a garage sale. I was actually on the Tail of the Dragon with my SV650 when she bought it. The XS was in a barn fire but never exposed to flame. just the fairing, controls and some wiring got a little droopy. so cafe/tracker it shall be. the tank inside is amazing, not a hint of rust. but other than that, everything might as well be replaced or restored. im leaning toward a tracker, but there are some cool cafes.
how do i go about getting most or all of the triangle section of the frame opened up?
heres what i want to get close to, minus the triangle plate: http://www.kruzcompany.com/#!yamaha-xs-400/c9rx
also the entire front end is going to need replaced. hopefully keeping the stock wheel. what replacement forks/ triples/ gauges can i use with it? should i just use all stock xs400 stuff?
thanks for the help!
