Featured Xs400 enduro/hybrid

Now I just need to figure out how to enclose my batt/electrionics. Any ideas??

 

Well here is what i did. 14ga. alum. I still need to spend some time "fitting" the pieces so they look a little nicer, but I think it will get the job done. Thanks for all the ideas. I wanted to make a drop pan inside the frame rails but my battery takes up a lot of space and these stinking xs400's have to many electric gizmos to hide.

 

Yeah I have some beefy aluminum I'm going to make the Bash plate out of. I just need to get someone to weld it for me.

 

Well, I didn't work on the bike much this weekend. I took the tiger out for a nice back country ride on Saturday. I say 3 deer, 5 turkeys and a big red tailed hawk. It was nice to be on a bike instead of working on a bike. It was a nice brake. I did finish my side panels, and started making my seat pan (the part that will get upholstered). I think my original tail/seat prototype will work well for this. I just need to cut it down a little bit. I will post some pics once I get underway. I also got some material to make my bash plate out of. A friend of mine gave me a 4'x4' Sheet of .250 aluminum to cut what I need out of it. I also ordered all ballz fork seals, all ballz swing arm rebuild kit, and seal savers for the forks. Paint prep next week?..............................................................maybe Happy Easter by the way.

 

Thanks I wasn't sure about them but I like how they turned out. They get the jOb done.

 

I got my rear tire today!!

 

More mysterious boxes appeared at my house today. My swing arm kit and the front and rear tubes have arrived.

 

I started working on my skid plate today. I still have some trimming and fitting to do, but at least I started it. This stuff was hard to bend. It will definitely be tough enough. I will be putting some speed holes in it once its finished.

 

Skid plate done. I just welded threaded mounts to the frame and used stainless counter sunk screws.
