Hey guys my names Alex I bought a '78 xs400 a while back and finally decided to start building her this winter. It's my first bike, I'm hoping to learn as I go and learn a bunch from my fellow forum members!
Now the bike I bought disassembled as the previous owner who was going to turn it into a cafe racer. The plan is to resurrect the bike into a scrambler/brat. I have already began to strip all unnecessary parts off and clean up the frame, prepping for a rear hoop and electronics tray.
Parts on order:
- Rear hoop, diy rear fender, scrambler front fender, carb holder, speedo holder and indicator brackets from Two Hands Motorcycles.
- Brembo PS13 rear master cylinder (factory is shot)
- Stainless brake lines
- Zero Dark 7" LED Jeep Wrangler headlight
- Gazi Sport Lite shocks
- XS650 reg/rec from MikesXS
- LED indicators from BAAK Motorcycles
- Shock mount plate holder from Gasbox
- Bates LED taillight
- Sparck Moto harness
- MMCC switch blocks
- Antigravity 4-cell
- Honda ignition switch
- Bronze swing-arm bushings
- Tapered steering bearings
- Mini speedo from Cognito Moto
- New coils
- Pod filters
Currently have super-bike bars from DCC, Domino throttle, Nissin 14mm front master and a clutch perch + lever from a 08 Kawasaki ZX10R for controls. I'm going to the front fork mods and brake disc drilling mentioned in the XS650 Minton Mods article. Motor will be rebuilt with fresh gaskets and seals, carb rejet, possibly a 2 to 1 exhaust, and electric ignition.
Thanks again guys!
