1980 xs400 bobber

[jochicos]

Finally done. Will be displaying it at the Toronto Super Show Jan. 7,8 and 9 2011.
This bike was an all out build. I decided to use the 400, because everyone has done a 650 a thousand times over. Its a non points motor (TCI ignition). CB160 Tank. 08 Honda Shadow headlight. Enjoy. These are older pics. I will have updated pics after the show.
CHEERS.

21 inch front wheel

18 inch front wheel.

damn. that 21 front looks sexy. welcome to the site! are you going to post pictures of thr build in process? i would like to see how you did the hardtail and other general info about the bike itself

I have a few pics of the build in process, but not many. I can and will provide all the info on the bike if anybody would like. When I first started this build there was nothing I could find on XS400, so thats what made me build one.
I built the frame rite at home with a dinky HD drill press, some rigid wholesaw bits, flux core electric mig to tac the frame together, 4" grinder, a conventional wood chop saw with a metal blade, and alot of imagination.
Any questions feel free.

Man, when I first saw the first pics with the forks shoved all the way up in the trees, I was like "What the....?" haha Definitely an awesome build man, I like everything about it. I love the look of the 21.....thats what I run on mine. Great work!
