Re: SWING ARM STRETCH, 76 CB360, How do you like it??? Stretch looks really good, I'd blast that engine 1 more time and paint it black though.

Cool, that aint bad

I actually meant how much did you get for it? If you dont mind me asking...

What did you sell it for?

I'm gonna try something new with this seat. I plan on incorporating the license plate and tail light into the seat while at the same time having the seat flow with the bike and not be a bulky mess, should be interesting.

Thanks!

Just decided to keep the whizzer tank as is and just call it just that "The Whizzer" haha, anyways tho I rolled the bike out of my poorly lit garage ad took a few photos. Seat, wiring and firing is all thats left now. C&C is always welcome, Thanks.

Re: XS400 "Something or other" Build Put alot of hours into this bike lately, its finally starting to come together. Heres a couple teaser shots of the front end... Tried to clean things up by ditching the tach and putting the ignition in the lamp.

Re: XS400 "Something or other" Build Got some painting done on the frame and engine, cleaned and cut the exhaust. Sorry about the crappy pics. I still dont really know what category to throw this bike into, dont really care. main goal is just clean and balanced.... Also decided im...

Re: XS400 "Something or other" Build Build is going a little slow, waiting on some parts and what not... bought this new 1.8 gal knock off whizzer tank from china on ebay, wish it wasnt painted but I like the shape and it sits on the frame alright.... Cant wait to get that street tire for the...

Re: XS400 "Something or other" Build yes I think Swapmeet Louie did that in his build, I dont think Im going to tho. I considered making a custom tank out of fiberglass but building one strong enough and fuel resistant enough for an everyday bike would be more trouble than its worth.... I...

Re: XS400 "Something or other" Build Tried out another tank, painted this one in the winter, really like the shape and size. It just doesnt really sit on the frame right....

Right now this bike looks like all it wants to be is "cafe" or sport and thats not bad at all, the tank and fairing look awesome... I wouldnt try and go quasi "bobber/chopper" or "brat" or any of that with the sissy bar or frisco handlebars. Lose the sissy bar, mould a rear fender that flows...

Re: XS400 "Something or other" Build Im going to be using the 1980 XS frame and motor in this build, its pretty much untouched as apposed to the 79 and a "clean" slate is always nice. Last night I threw on an XL100 front end with a 21" spoked wheel... was not a direct fit sadly, going to...

Re: XS400 "Something or other" Build Right on, yea I like what your doing with yours, im probably going with the mx bars and possibly the frame loop as well... Im going the clean and simple route with this bike. The thing that really is gonna set the bike off for me tho is a 21" up front with...
