Hello all
I have used the site recently for much needed information and I thought it was about time I joined for some valuable help. I'm currently re-building a 79 xs650 in the cafe racer style. I have built two cafe's before a few years back using a 78 RD125 and a 76 RD200DX, so I have a small amount of experience in the area although I'm new to working on 4 strokes. I have procured an RD400 tank that I thought may look good on the frame for the overall look that I'm trying to achieve but I have my doubts as to if it'll look a bit weedy when the engine is in?. I've only just started the 'mock up' runs and I can't get my head around it. I have an eltro-plater ready to chrome the tank so I don't want to make a big mistake. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!!
