Featured Xs400 enduro/hybrid

i like it!! are you going to make is street legal? would be a sweet enduro.

 

I have an '82 xs400 rj seca,and it has a similar monoshock style frame.It is set up for road use,of course,but the engine can put out a pretty good bit of torque,especially when fitted with pods and a good exhaust system. They also have a governor that can be by-passed to give more speed and power.I'm going to bob mine,as I have a dt400b for enduro action.Looks like you'll have an impressive machine,keep us posted so wecan live vicariously through you. lha

 

Very cool bike!!

 

welcome aboard. It must be the monoshock thing, but so far it kinda reminds of this sickest tracker/enduro. Can't wait to see what else you're cooking up for it

well it's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw yours, so you're on the right track bro

 

Very nice

 

I love when people take something and turn it into something else. I have a lil hobby of mine I call 2Face Customs. First project was a 2001 Kawasaki EX500 I turned dual sport. Anyways seeing this thread reminded me of a bike I read about the other day xt600 turned cafe racer. http://www.returnofthecaferacers.com/2012/02/yamaha-xt600-cafe-racer.html?m=1

Sweet bike you have there. A lot of nice fab work. Keep us posted.

Not to much has changed since the last update, issues with title so I put the project on he backburner for a bit. End result will be close to same but with gas mask with projectors in the eye sockets for the headlight, hand guards wth turn signals integrated, 40mm ammo cans (the big ones) as the saddle bags, tail fairing is staying and adding a set of radiator fairings to clean up the ugly between the radiator and tank, then all plastics rhinolined and camo painted and ofcourse dualsport tires.

lhaolpa, what governor? Farm tractors and lawn mowers have governors, but I never heard of a bike with one.

Want to sell this seat pan/cowl??

Oh, and I've been following your build on DTT..super cool.

 

Mate, that final seat design is bloody excellent. I reckon it is heaps better than the fiberglass. How come you are going dual carbs? You bike is so innovative I was kind of expecting a custom 2 into 1 carb.

I am really diggin' this build.

 

that is.....





....so far
