XS400 café/tracker/scrambler

Awesome, another cruiser to scrambler! I like where this one's going; I'll tag along for some inspiration. Liking the homegrown rear suspension setup so far.
 
Got a chance to get the shock mocked up. Built some temporary brackets to see ride height and sag. Looks and feels pretty good.

What's your plan for tires? I didn't have any luck finding cool looking tires in a 18" front and 16" rear. Or were you going to pit new rims on the stock hubs?

Nice build... exhaust looks good, did you base it off an aftermarket system? I only ask because I've never seen a 2 into 1 that merges that close to the head. Most merge later to give the bike better low to mid range power...

I'm sure someone on here knows better than I but if it really doesn't matter, it gives me an idea for a set that I would like to build too

Thanks! The exhaust had no base just ordered some tube and started building. You will find that most of my build it like that. figure out a look/feel that I like and go with it. This build has been on the back burner lately. but have still been collecting parts.
 
Got this build back on the stand. Working on getting shock mounted and rear sets wrapped up. Will post updates.

Converting a twin shock to a monoshock is on my list of things to do one day... Keep it up.
 
Little progress. Need to figure out the "gusset" for the hoop. Really dont want to add anything but I feel it needs something.

More progress. Most things need finish welding, plan is to get everything mocked up, get it running and tear down for finish welding. Then paint!

Started the brake linkage and played around with the rear section. Going to order the throttle, clutch and brake levers.

Also need to figure out a headlight. I will be using a CB160 headlight bucket with a Trail Tech Vapor digital dash set in it.
