New XS project

[rodduke]

Hi

Picked up a couple of XS250/400(top end) in October as new winter project hoping to make a good bike from two wrecks.

Got the 250 to fire up for the first time in years with basic carb clean, new plugs and bit of loom repair.

Was happy with how a 20+ year old Yamaha cleans up.

Rebuilt and got through MOT and on the road last week.

Only problem now is what to do with the 400?

Thinking a skinny board tracker style? but want dual seat?

Or chunky sand tyre Tracker?

Sure everyone on here knows its gets quite mind bending at times with these projects

But totally worth it

They were made up in the factory to MPH, wanted coloured face like they do in Kph yellow or light blue but couldn't, so had to have the white face with coloured light blue LED backlight, got a spare set if interested.

Yeah no problem, keep an eye for some gaps in this weather!
