Hey Ihaolpa, im from Donna which is like the mid valley area but im goin to school right now in Austin... im really missing the bike right now but lucky for me, i only have about three weeks left in the semester :) Looks like you got out of the Valley just in time to avoid all of the border...

Nice bike! Really liking the coffin style tank and rear fender! it sounds really good too! :):thumbsup:

Hey, nice bike! Im a big fan of the flat black. What are the dimensions of your seat if you don't mind me askin. Im tryin to figure out how im going to do my seat but i like the flat seat that ive been seeing on some the bobbers on here like yours.

Hey bcbobber, I like the softail look u got so far! What size of seat pan did you use to make your pan.

Yeah I am also trying to figure out a direction to go with my seat. Like ive said before, I really like how New KId's bike came out. Im going to try and achieve the look he has because it seems like a real sportster look with out having to hard tail it. I cant wait to get back home and start!:)

Im pretty sure thats the stock tank just stripped of the emblems.

Wow houghmade! what did you use to clean it up that good?

Cool, then this is probably the look i will try to go for, and yeah i notice the forward control which i will probably look into since im a bit taller lol. That seat pan is probably welded on huh? That means i would probably have to move the battery or something. I really like the look of an...

Hey, like the bike! Im fairly new to the forum as well as bikes but i have an 81 xs400 :). Im looking to put pod filters on my bike too, I just need to learn about rejetting the carbs and stuff. I noticed that your bike manages to maintain most of its original with a few hacks to alter its look...

thanks i'll probably try that out houghmade. I was going through the forum and saw post labeled "german chop" under the chopper topic section. Is that what a bike could look like with just minimal cuts to the frame? Or is that look achieved only after massive alteration to the frame itself? im...

Im pretty new to the forum, but is this what a bike could look like with just minimal cuts to the frame? im asking because i want to see what I can get my xs400 to look like by only cutting the frame here and there (if thats possible with having a good outcome). Im just trying to see how i can...

Thanks to all for your input! Yeah i mean, Im not looking to go out and buy a new frame... I was thinking of just making the necessary cuts here and there on the current frame if thats possible :)... To be honest though, I wouldn't know where to begin lol. But like i said if i could just make...

Thanks Oliver! I will go ahead and look into that and yeah im not sure if the fuse box is supposed to have a cover, but mine doesnt. I have checked the fuses and they all seem to be fine. I just think its time to get rewired lol. The electric start worked when i first purchased the bike but now...

Hey everyone, I bought a 1981 xs400 a couple of months ago off of craigslist for $500. It had all the paper work along with current plates. It just didnt have inspection because the electrical is full of shortages. The bike itself runs and the previous owner said he put in new carbs. I believe...
