I've been lurking fora bit and thought I say "Thank you!" for all of the help so far, and start a build thread for my current project. Bought and fixed up a '96 Katana on '07 but it has been broken for a couple of years now (broke down shortly after I met my wife, and Finishing up college, wedding, & 2 Kids left little room to work on it). My kid brother asked me if he could fix it up for me... then once it was in his possession asked if i'd sell it to him (knew that was coming ). I told him that if he found a cool project bike we could customize, I'd trade him for it... I found this XS400 Special for $250 a week later:
Doesn't run, but is complete, and seems to be in fair condition other than cosmetics... We've done quite a bit of tear down & brainstorming so far (while borrowing and modding lots of ideas I've seen here). Thanks for all the tech & design advice, and wanted to send a special thanks to Drewpy whose tracker convinced me to go for the XS400 . Beautiful bike, among amazing bikes!
I'll post the rest of what I've done soon...
