Well i got a good barn find!! Was exploring a old friends bard when i saw a old dirt bike frame laying to the side. No motor and most of the parts were gone but the carb was left so I snatched it up. Broke them apart and they were clean just some dirt spider webs. Can anyone tell me what they may have gone to? Hoping to clean them up and soda blast them and sell them to keep the XS400 project alive. So if your looking to buy hit me up!

Ya didn't think to look on the frame but i believe it to be a Suzuki the tank was pretty well covered in mud. But i will check the bike when i head back there. And i hope to head back there soon we climbed up into the barn and found a completed VW beetle that was striped and ready for restoration with 2 motors laying around!!! It looked like it has been sitting there for years, but i don't know how to approach the owner of the land about the car. I don't want to walk up to him and say hey so me and my buddy were snooping around in your barn the other day and... And my mom will be pissed if we bring home another project. I have my motorcycle taking up 1/2 the garage and my dad has his old race car that he is restoring and a old 50's camper he is restoring as well!

well it kida is my friends his family uses the land for cattle but they don,t own the land or the barn. I live out in the country and everyone is related so everyone uses someones land for something as far as storing junk so there is no telling whose car it is. But my buddy said the old motorcycle was probably his uncles because it was under the barn not "in it" and that he wouldn't care about the carb (and after working on my carbs so much i wanted to have a try on some other carbs!). But I think we are going to ask the owner of the land if we can fish in one of his ponds right beside the barn, and then ask him about the car the next day or something.

Ryanh said:$50 bucks for this little projects... Motor from a Dt 400, didn't take long to tear it down this morning
Cool, bit of porting, modified air box, you can have a reliable monster ;D
left crankcase is fragile where gearchange comes out, I broke 3
Last time you could see the gears going round as the hole where gearchange used to be was pretty large :

Tasty waves and a cool buzz.
Just got this. 1981 Honda 400. Didn't really buy it, got it in trade. The bike belonged to a guy who made sculptures out of scrap metal. He was going to cut it up! I gave him a old bumper and some scrap from around my yard and he gave me the bike.
Don't plan on keeping those bars, Just threw em' on to make it easier to push around. What do you guys think... Clubmans, clip-ons, drag, superbike... I'm really not sure!

Haha pj that would have looked cool... I'm yet to sort through the bits and prices but it looks like its all there... Even got in contact with the guy I bought it off on eBay on the off chance he had extra bit at his house, scored the frame with matching numbers for registration complete with shock and swingarm got it for 120 bucks less than the wrecking yard wanted for one too
