I am stripping the XS400 frame to give to another biker.
I have already removed the engine.
Do you normally remove everything else from the bike, such as the kick stands and foot rests and wiring, or is the expectation that these parts are considered as part of the frame?
Just wondering

If I was getting it, it would be nice to get all of that stuff. If I was giving/selling it then it would depend on if I could use any of that stuff myself. I bought a rigid frame for a harley a while back and that was all I got. So I don't think that are any real expectations, other than what you agree on.

What year was the harley frame for?....I have one here also but not sure if I will be using it......

It's an aftermarket rigid doesn't really have a year. Does yours have reg?

Shep, if that frame is coming my way I'll take anything you don't want. Non butchered frame with papers is the most important, all else is bonus. That includes any metric nuts, bolts, washers, grommets etc. Thanks. Always, Bob

I once got a frame that had a perfectly good voltage regulator/rectifier still attached (from Roy at "Bikes In Fields"). I didn't mind the bonus, and he didn't mind me getting the part. Since I swapped him a perfectly good and running bike for the frame (and brakes, and wheels, and forks for an XS 650), we were both happy. A win-win.
The only surprises I have heard of is when the frame vendor decides to withhold the swing arm and shocks. I think that is is bit much. Those are essential components of a "frame" in my opinion.
Communication is always the best motto. What was your purchaser expecting to buy, and what were you expecting to sell? No hard feelings where there is a meeting of the minds.
