Nice Yamaha XS400 cafe racer

[Romanillos]

Hi all,

It's the first time I write in this Forum. What do you think about my XS 400?

Cheers

Welcome. Nice work although ill say its got more of a brat style to it rather than a cafe.

 

[Romanillos]

Thank you! Yes you are right, it is brat, before I had semi-handlebars but it was impossible to drive the bike more than 30 minutes - so uncomfortable

Nice DOHC 400 you have there. Love the wire wheels wish I could find a nice set.........

Looks good, spokes are a nice touch.
I would clean the battery/airbox area...but that' my illness

I love it!

What tank is that? Any details of the build process?

 

[Romanillos]

I bought the Tank in Germany, I think is from a Yamaha xs650.

Wire wheels were an expensive and difficult Task. I wanted to have bigger tyres (110 front - 130 back - with Option of 140, but is to tight)

My father is using the battery/airbox space to have some "Tools set" (with new plugs, etc..) you never know

Very nice. Love the wheels. Tell us about the exhaust.

 

[Romanillos]

I am quite happy with the exhaust - the sound live is amazing - like a Harley without bein that loud.

Mufflers were bought in the UK (Titanium Color)fair Price ~75 Pounds each

I didn´t want to cut the original pipes. I found a cheap second Hand pipes which I cut to adapt the mufflers.

Then I used Standard black titatium wrap
