1981 Yamaha XS400 "Bobber" [Update]

(I'm feeling sick)

Alrighty, so I got ahold Murph (ex's uncle) about doing the welding. He said he was good with doing it Saturday so everything is lined up. I dropped the swingarm and tank a few mintues ago. Tomorrow ill get the front end and whatever else I can get off and Friday night I pull the motor before going over to hang out with Kevin, Corey, & Wendy.

Been looking at parts for the bike over the last few days. Getting some ideas in my head and finding things for the previous ideas in my head. Trying to decide if I want to go with forward controls or not. If I do then I can run the clutch cable to that for my left foot... if not then ill just attach it to the hand shifter.

Another problem is the front end. If I get the Springer front end im probably going to have to find another front rim. Only way I can see using the one I got is to get a new hub or making a bracket to hold the drum in place while the tire is moving.

I pulled the starter a few days ago to get it tested and its working. It is so my guess is the starter switch assembly is fucked. A new one is $82. I prefer the idea of the kickstart myself but if I have an electric starter stock I might aswell keep it and have it useable for those lazy leg days. I didnt realize when I was pulling the starter out that there was a gear attached on the inside of the casing that falls, so now I have to pull the side cover off and put it back on... which means new gasket.
