Hey everyone, I’m new here been poking around for a while.
Been missing riding, I had to sell my bike because of a divorce last summer.
I’ve seen some cool older bobbers that have caught my eye and possibly given me some hope I can afford an older bike and ride again.
I found a XS400J local that runs great, I could possibly get it for around $800.
I have some experience working on bikes but mostly dirt bikes. I can’t weld. So my question is how much expertise (novice, expert) work, time and most of all...money is involved in converting one of these?
Does the frame need to be lowered and lengthened?
I’ll attach a photo of the bike I’m looking at, and what I’d like it to look like when I’m done.
Thanks!
