1980 Yamaha XS400 - Cafe build first ride!

I got the XS Cafe done enough to take a rip on it, check it out! Super fun bike as is, needs a few things yet but super happy with the performance of this bike!

Always good to test it in the neighborhood for when the shifter falls off xD I've had carbs fall off on me lol

[@sixfive0cycle]

These are very loose, surprisingly didnt fall off!

[@ACECafeBikes]

I remember that - haha!!

Waited a year to see this on the street. Did not disappoint.

For a little 400 she's pretty quick fun little bike I picked up one for free off a old man

[@sixfive0cycle]

I enjoy the 400/500cc bikes, they are fun to ride!

So very close! Just 2 miles per hour shy of going back to 1955.

That's awesome friendly......I have an 82 cafed out but needs help in the electrical to get back on the road......little lost with it......where did you purchase your parts needed? Nice to see your excitement......nice ride!

[@sixfive0cycle]

Any of the new parts were from Amazon or Dennis Kirk. Lots of online resources for bikes.

[@harrygrimley4352]

Very cool. Gonna subscribe to go back and look at the work you've done 👍

[@sixfive0cycle]

As a project it came out pretty good! Thanks for the support!

Xs 400 will womp a HD 883 for the 1/4 mile! 90mph is FAST for a 400cc twin!!!!

[@nick_ct_9235]

Where'd you get the cafe seat and bars for it?

[@sixfive0cycle]

I got the seat off Amazon. The handlebars are the factory bars for the fz750 front end.

[@gloriagusler7876]

So are you keeping it or selling it?

[@sixfive0cycle]

It's not done yet!

[@michaelcerovski111]

What mufflers did you use?

[@sixfive0cycle]

It was an older aftermarket 2 into 1 with muffler. No idea what manufacturer. Makes good noises though!

[@bultacowally]

So you buy a vintage Yamaha, strip off the fenders and mufflers and call it a "cafe build"??? Yeah...Ok
