NAPALMROLLER
Napalmxs400
This is a 1980 xs400 special I got a year or so ago for 1000 bucks she was ugly, hurt, and a few things were neglected until I found her.
I wanted to do a build a little diff from the average. Everything on this bike was hand made from seat (which is real wood) to frame. When it comes down to the parts, well I tried using everything that was given to me. From 1980 this bike has original exhaust, just gutted an re-tuned custom buffs, and chopped back 8" head light has been dropped and tucked, singlefied the original tach and light box, shaved the triple tree for the bars (pain in the ass), went through the motor in and out, did Jett's all the way to my own armature wiring. I spaced up the rear an inch without relocating top shock mounts and slammed the front. All lights have been changed and upgraded. Too much time to list everything, but the key of what this build really is, is stay away from the eBay and use what's giving to you from that era, cut shave revamp, and step back and look at all angles and like my ol' man says, don't take the easy way it gets crowded. But pics will do more justice not my words, and a special thanks to the staff of Xs400.com. More detailed pics in my albums of build from frame to finish.
