Was going through some flicks of my ride and thought i should share them it in various different styles still riding well think the clutch is on the way out!

hi guys been away for a while thought i let you know how the bike was going couldn't ride with the brake the way it is so now have fitted a disc brake to the invader much better now it stops! also got a new fairing at the weekend and will fit this weekend

It's i think aftermarket from the 60s/70s cafe racer can't find anything out about it but i recon it could work?

Hi its a reproduction bates seat 1'' thick from bearparts co http://bearpartsco.com/seats.html in my opinion they are the best reproduction there not cheep but comfy, i got mine wet which was a mistake but hard not to with uk weather but it is helping to add to the patina.

Cheers guys Thanks for all the positive comments, some more changes soon so watch this space!

Thanks man im glad you like i will put up more pics soon of how it was before

hi drewpy thanks the tank is a weird chopper tank from the 70s i think moulded fiberglass original paint with white gold sign writing, i was watching your tracker build last year on your blog i had a xs400 tracker but sold it in december.

Looks great my lodger has built a brattstyle xs400 i will get him to post when he is back in the uk, its your lucky day i got a welder so if its not too much i can weld your tags on for you.

certainly is yer pop over whenever weekend is best i often drive through crouch end up to Barnet are you building an xs?

Yer i just noticed you were in london im just down the road in hackney i use to live in crouch end as well!

Thanks very much invaders some love them some hate them i tell you what it was a job fitting them as they were for a harley but managed it in the end the front brake is not very good so thinking of putting a disc on.

Hi guys great to find a forum on xs400 i just thought you might like to see a few flicks of my recent bike i have owned it since about 2005 and had it in different styles this is the most recent the last flick is a new fairing that i have bought for it im going to paint it up to match the tank...
