XS400 Bobber build/first post

Hey man can you take a pic of how you have the front mount of your springer seat done... I have been trying to figure out a good way to mount it...
 
hows the bike coming got er running yet?

im waiting for new goodies : '73 sportser tank, ape hangers and some other stuff.

where did you put all the electronics in the end?
 
i cut up a stock harley oil bag. plate on one side, and its bounter under my seat. no pics yet till im dont i think. if i end up firing it up this weekend, ill post pics.
 
not till i wire it. im dragging my feet. everything is assembled, and my fuel line is run, just gotta weld some tabs on my oil bag/electronics box and stuff some shit in there. im gonna be outta town this week, and my dad said he's gonna work on it a bit since he's off work for the week. got a feeling its gonna fire when i get back. after thats its just jetting (great...) and learning to ride the thing lol.

atothep, screw you. i was hoping ppl forgot about my bike, that way i could just pop in with one update and whore it out with some pics. *sigh* there goes that idea. lol. na ive just been lazy with pics and ive been workin on my 125, s10 and 88 stang. winter with a motorcycle thats almost done, but cant ride when it is = little motivation. but ill get on it just for yall. maybe some inspiration for chris.
 
My mother in-law and sister in-law went to the factory on a tour a few years ago and both don't drink! Dam it I was so pissed. Just stay on topic I love xs400's:laugh:
 
not really an update but more of a tease. for you and me.
dads been workin on gettin the thing to fire, but ere having carb issues. i gotta get new needles. great. and i still gotta weld some tabs for the electronic bix, tank, and tool bag. also picked up a fender not sure if im gonna use it or not, anyway. on with the pics.

kinda messy right now sorry for the shitty pics, flourescent lighting + bloggie = no-no. im actually gonna leave the tank raw and just clear coat it. not sure if i like the stickered alternator cover. might just keep it cuz im lazy.:D
