    1980 yamaha xs 400 hardtail chop

    I wish I had seen this thread when you first posted. I would have suggested some larger diameter tubing for that back end, unless you have some plan to reinforce it.

    What engine do I need to buy?

    You might be able to unstick the engine. Plenty of info available with the search function here. Welcome to the forum!

    XS400 frame ideas

    I saw on xs650.com that a guy did a hardtail and then went back to a swingarm. It was a while ago, but it is possible to do.

    XS400 frame ideas

    I have an extra frame w/title that I'm looking to sell. Still has swingarm mount, but it is missing a sidecover tab or two. PM me if interested.

    Considering buying an XS400...

    Make sure to also check for rust in the gas tank. Other things to check to bring the price down include the oil - if it is exceptionally dirty or has gasoline in it that will indicate trouble. If the sprockets and chain are worn you could ask for another drop in price. Also, if the wheels aren't...

    What exactly did P.O. do to these carbs and why?

    He might have put in a splitter if he had to build a complete set of carbs from two left side carb bodies. That might also explain the lack of idle adjustment screw.

    No mirror/arm or rocker arm covers. PM me an offer on the handlebars.

    I think the one pictured is the right side controls (throttle, kill switch). I needed the left side stuff for my build. I'll double check for an extra set when I get back to town in a week and a half.
