XS 400 Thrasher

  Simplicity in a build is, in my opinion, a hallmark of a great build.  You pare a motorcycle down to it’s mechanical essence, be it a low-slung bobber, a serious dirt tracker, or in this case, a combination cafe racer and brat style bike.  I could go with a bigger headlight, but the small one works well in this case.  The leather saddle bags and tank straps really set this build off from the normal, and add to the vintage feel.  Going by Google translate, this build is from Thomas Kieffer, who spent a year on this creation after finding it abandoned in a warehouse!
