I came out to the shop this morning to get some work done on my frame. I got the upper tubes, seat hinge, and cross bars welded on. Next time I need to make the axle plates and seat pan. Till then!

BUILDS>> MY XS400 BOBBER PT.2
Not much has happened since the first post, however I still wanted to touch on the plans for this thing. I recently started building the frame my self. I looked around on the internet for an XS650 weld on kit that I could cut up but I couldnt find any that I liked. Instead I took some measurements and had a friend bend some chromoly. The smaller tubes are 7/8" and the back bone is 1.25" Its all been sleeved and tacked together in these pictures. I have changed the wheelbase to 59" and the rear axle has moved up to 5.25" over stock.
I did ended up buying a frisco mounted sporty tank from LowBrow and a pair of Shinko enduro tires. This week I plan on finished the frame and making the axle plates. After that I can make the seat pan and get the mounts welded on. Thats about it for now.
