I don't think the seat is much lower than original. My new seat hoop is above the original one. My seat tray is flat though, while the original rear fender is curved. I have not measured it, but I hope the clearance is about the same.
It is s MIG welder from Biltema. Most MIG welders will do the job, just make sure it can use gas for shielding. Some welders are made for flux welding only, I don't recommend those 🤔
Okei takk for svar👍🏻 skal bygge om bak ramma på en -80 honda xl500s. Å var litt usikker på om 1,5mm var kraftig nok. Lykke til vidre med prosjektet, blir en kul sykkel👍🏻
Great ideas you shared with fabricating the support hoop for the seat. 3D printing a test piece saved a lot of guesswork with that difficult profile.
Thanks ☺️
Were you worried about the rear wheel clearance with the seat in a lower position that the standard?

I have a 1982 CB450T Hawk. Do you know if the frame is similar to your CB400? Also, what kind of welder are you using? LInk?
Not sure, I am not familiar with that bike 🥴
The welder is from Biltema, it's an older model they don't sell any more. It is quite powerful, not the best for welding thin sheet metal.
Had to Google your bike 😊 it looks very similar, would guess it is the same frame, but I don't really know...
Good job sir very detaild work, god bless. Drop my garage sir thank you.
Which is the tool he's filling and using from 9:24 to 9:40?
It is a sand blasting gun connected to my air compressor, works great for removing rust in difficult places
What kind or type of welder did you use?

Bruker du 1,5mm eller 2mm rør??
1,5mm - kjøpt på Biltema 😊
