No picky = too sicky with flu and acute bronchitis to go to shed. Know if it!s hard cash you!re bettin', I could be persuaded..........
its an awesome bike man and the reason i ask is cause i wanna do that r6 front caliper on my bike or the bike im building for my wife should i say haha these bike are a load of fun but i wanna improve the braking a bit for her these one piston calipers arent that great and i was wondering if there was anyway you could set me up with one of those brackets to make the r6 caliper fit
each bike will be different.
depends on what disk you use, the caliper, tyre and where you want to caliper to go.
Its simple to work out what you need by mocking up the disks and caliper to clear the spokes and fork

I'm thinking if Drew wanted to make you a bracket, he would have offered by now. 
I'd do a mock up, then get a basic idea with cardboard. Once you get the general positioning lined up, cut a test bracket out of wood. From there, just refine until it's right, then get a piece of alum and cut out your finalized piece.

sorry I just don't have the time, and making something bespoke 2000 miles away is asking for trouble
you really can do it. I just worked it out as I went along

yea thanks man i was thinking of making a fake one out of plexy glass as it would be strong enough to hold the caliper in place for mock up but even with that i have no acces of cutting out a metal one i apreciate the info tho.. awesome bike man
I used a hacksaw on mine and hand file.
the only hard bit was to rebate some of it. that I farmed out.

I saw this one on the googlemeister before I joined the forum. I liked it then and I like it now. I'd love to see some pics of the build process on here

Hey Drewpy. I saw a pic of your bike from the Roughley's Toy Run on the Church of Choppers blog. Very cool.

Hey drewpy, What kind of mufflers are those?
They look like the stock ones but shorter. I like how they end by the rear wheel axle. Did you paint them? Also, any tips for heat tapes? Sorry for the barrage of questions, I just bought my xs400 a week and a half ago and I am still learning and planning my build.

2016 update sounds interesting!
Can't see much else I'd personally upgrade on your bike to be totally honest!
If my Xs was as well done as yours I'd probably leave it be ha
Everything staying totally under wraps till it's done?
