Hey all, I'm new here, I've chopped and bobbed a few Honda cb's in the past and have decided to do my first xs bobber. It is currently living life as a 1981 xs400 Special and soon to be chopped. I'm relatively new to Yamaha's so I will surely have many inquiries. Firstly, does anyone know who may make a hardtail bobber style frame for an xs400? I've found a few for the more common xs650, but they're all around $1000! Any references would be great!

Thanks!

I don't think there are rigid frames available. A sawzal a mig welder and a good eye ball can fix anything

HA...yeah that's what I've done in the past to hardtail my CB chops, may have to go that route again. But I've seen a lot of xs650 hardtail frames and am surprised not to be able to find someone willing to make one for a 400. Not to mention that I have a nice Lincoln MIG welder that I've been using for frame mods, but I keep hearing that I SHOULDN'T be making structural mods without TIG welding them, I suppose due to penetration depths.

PSWcustoms do one
