tankerchief Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Ok here is my 79 XS400 I have had since 88. My first street bike at 16. It had been sitting at my dads for the last 10 years. Need to find a before pic with the windjammer, crash bars and huge back rest. Anyways I am going for the cafe look on it now. I need to find a cafe tail section. Anybody put one on theirs? Second what is the lagest size tires I can run on the stock rims? 3.0 front and the 4.10 rear. Looking to remove the front fender as well for the larger tire. What brand do you recomend as well? Also anybody make their own rear sets? I am sure I will have more questions as the build slowly progresses. Thanks in advance and here is a pic. Battery box will be removed for small battery under tail by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
