Hi Everyone - new member/first post. And I just wanted to say thank you - my Brother and I recently opened our own little shop building custom cafe/bobber/street fighter bikes. Our first build has been a 1981 XS400 Special II Cafe Racer - and man, thanks to this forum and the freakin' wealth of knowledge/experience on these bikes that all of you have shared, you helped us solve so many issues with our first custom build - we have some minor issues left (charging & LED Turn signals) but, thanks to you guys, we are pretty much on our way to fixing them. I posted several photos under two albums on this forum (before and after):

The Transformation - Stock to Cafe 1981 XS400 Special II Part 2
Not sure how to do a link to them but, when you have a chance, I hope you guys can check out this ride ... recently took "Best Custom Cafe Racer" in a show in Cocoa Beach, FL judged by the guys at Dime City Cycles in Tampa ... I'm not here to promote our shop/business - just to say thank you - the posts/information on this forum has been invaluable and continues to be so for us ... plus, we are hetting to know these bikes pretty well - they make a great platform for a cafe racer (along with many other creative designs based on what I have seen here). Sadly, this bike will be on ebay shortly
Thank you again!!!
