So for anyone interested, the build is featured on pipeburn: http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2018/07/06/yamaha-xs400-tracker.html guess the demand for Yamaha JT1 tanks is going up from now on.

Hey Guys, so geuss you’re al up to speed on the News about Greg Hagemans build! Thanks Spectra! I’ll be looking for one of those magazines to!

Hey Spectra, Send him a message on Facebook again, he did read it but still didn’t reply. Hope we something from Greg soon! Fingers crossed.

Well up to now nothing yet, will PM him this week for more info!

Greg responded! More info coming soon!

Haha I figured that someone would mention the tank :laugh2:. I send him a message for more details but it remains quiet so far. Keep you posted on any news!

Dear XS400 enthausiasts, It is a pleasure to announce that Greg Hageman (in my opinion one of the great Yamaha customisers) did a XS400 Maxim. Let it be said that he did this job for a friend just to finish it up and get the main lines in order and everything. I just can't help but to find this...

This is for the cable, the steel wire inside the plastic is probably to dry causing a lot of drag along the entire lenght. I should not take it off before you've tried it. Would be wasted efforts If you ask me. So the lubbing agent should go inside the cable! Sorry for not specifying that earlier

Put WD40 in it. Or any other oil or silicon based lubing agent. Make sure to excesively lube while pulling the handle back and fort. And let it work in all night. Makes a hell of a difference !

That's a good looking tank right there! i understand were your coming from only thing I worry about is the length of the tank. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that the backbone on that XS is a bit longer than on a Maxim. Also I understand you don't wanna break the bank buying a XS750 tank...

The XS400 from Ellaspede thats good inspiration right there man! ;)

So what kind of look do you wanna achieve? And what kind of tanks did you try?

Just to let you know were on the same page, my xs400 set me back €250 aswell. And in my point of view the xs400's are always really good value for there money. ;-)

That is exactly what I'm aiming for actually I've been thinking about modifying the swingarm to incorporate a nice fender into it giving it a more speedy look. Seat wise I'm thinking something a little bit like the picture. And subframe wise I also totally agree, I mean to get rid of the old...

Yeah I will! In the Netherlands we have multiple stores that sell them to. Want to avoid ordering from the States due to shipping costs and customs, so if I'm able to avoid that I will. But if I swap everything I think I want a little more top speed out of it... I got a engine with a 6-speed...

Nice to see there a some fellow Dutchies out here! All tough we are working on completely different models they're all xs400's in the end right. Very curious on what all the outcomes will be!

Well we got a little wrenching time yesterday, front wheel went in without any issues. Needed to fit a little spacer behind te new disc (5.5mm). On the back things did not go so smoothly, I think I bought myself a NOS rear wheel for no money (€35) because this thing really looks like new. The...

Great build man! Did you shorten te original exhaust pipes to bring the mufflers a bit more to the front? Looks great!

Thanks mate!

So this will be the front end and hopefully a big improvement!
