AMR-XS400
Chopping to XS
Hi all. I havent been on for a while but i have finally kicked off the cafe/brat build on my bucket case 77 XS400. So far its been stripped and the build is beginning. The engine is being rebuilt from ground up. Since this was a basket case (everything was in boxes and not on the bike) i am still finding things i need to buy, i cant complain since i only payed $50 for the whole deal. At the moment I'm looking at getting the rear loop welded on and a custom cafe seat made up. I want to go kick start only, but still think i need to run a battery. Also the plan is to fit 4.50x18" Firestone tyres front and rear. HAs anyone fitted tyres that big on the front, concerned about clearance.
Anyway this is my first cafe racer build, and first rebuild of any bike. Im building this as well as a 1949 BSA BD1 at the same time. anyway, bear with me as im new to this and may ask stupid questions. Is there anyone else from Australia? or even Brisbane?
