Newbie Bobber build

[nickso]

Hi,

I just bought an XS250 today for much cheapness. I want to build a Bobber with it and have a few questions as I'm new to both bikes and XS's.

1. Am I right in thinking a 400 engine will go in a 250 frame but a 650 won't?

2. Does anyone do a 250/400 hardtail frame kit? I can weld but not bend tube.

3. Does a 650 hardtail frame kit fit but it's just the wheel dimensions that different (17mm/20mm)

4. Anything else you wise heads think I should be thinking about?

Pics of project turd are available if you are interested.
