First Bike, First Build...

[Nathan.Lasovich]

Hey Everyone,


First time rider, first time builder from Edmonton, Alberta. I've always wanted a motorcycle, but I'm not a fan of the Sport Bike Crowd and the cruiser crowd has always been a little old for me, so I decided to drop a few hundred bucks on a 1981 Yamaha XS400.


I've got quite a bit done to the body already but I'm still having trouble getting it running. Lots of time to do it though. Just can't wait to get it on the road.

Here's a link to a slideshow of the bike as it's come together so far. Next, other than of course, getting it running, will be fabricating and installing the seat, figuring out a scheme for the rear lights, and new rubber for the front.

Welcome! I'm a former Edmonton boy myself (now living in Vancouver). Hope you get your cafe going in time for that short riding season!

BTW, I travel to Edmonton 1 week every month so if there's any parts you need brought from Van let me know.
