Re: Yamaha xs400 (Tracker/dual sport) Diamond plate?

?????? Are you saying there's no displacement difference?

Just scored a titled DT-400 with rebuilt mill!!!! Looks like this little guy is going to get finished, cleaned up, and sold. Apparently the wife can't understand why I'd need 3 bikes. :-\

SWEET!

I also went to the frame. I was worried about hitting a bump and causing the bike to shift or brake because of swingarm movement. I was also concerned about how my legs would move around, and how I wouldn't be able to lock in as tight to the bike. I don't think it would be safe to go on the...

Have decided to cut about 1/2" off of the shifter pedal. It takes too long to move my foot around it.

Just slid it down in the triple trees about 1.5". Yes, I know, steering geometry, trail, rake, blah blah blah. EDIT: I got it up on the highway today, and I think I may have squeezed an extra 5mph out of it. Of course, that only brings me to 55mph, but whatever. :) It's also a LOT more stable...

Well, I got the rear light sorted out. No pics, cause it's ugly and temporary, but it works! I also mounted the license plate. So now it's street legal, woohoo! Took it for a longish ride yesterday, and it was great! The only issue was that I dragged my toe once while trying to upshift in a...

I can make you a Google Sketchup file. You'll probably have to mod the brackets to fit a 250. EDIT: I don't know if it's obvious to anyone but me, but the last bearing seat is about 100% better than all the others. They had wonky parts where I'd had to file down spots, or where the mill slipped...

Thanks! On a countertop? Can't I just use my belt sander? :P

She's a goer! She goes! Know what I mean? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOc5kVaDzXM&feature=youtu.be (Okay, I promised wheelies, and TECHNICALLY there's one in there. See the last part of the post). Shifter side mostly completed. Just need to clean a few things up and put some locking hardware...

Re: Yamaha xs400 (Tracker/dual sport) EXHAUST UPDATE! Drool. Great build! But.... one more vote for the Kaw tank. :) The XT tank just looks clunky compared to the rear cowl and seat. Maybe you could find a similar but larger tank?

Re: "killer b" CB200T build - updated with pics page 6 That thing looks like a superhero bike. I love it.

I haven't worked much on this bike lately. My homemade milling rig had some hiccups, and I had to fix those first. Today I milled out the bearing seat on the shifter pedal and pressed in the bearing. No pics because it doesn't look much different. This time I used a different method which was...

Sounds like my bike is going to get a big brother! http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=35062.0 I'd LOVE to have a DT250, but they are selling for ridiculous prices these days. Interested to see how your build goes.
