Shedon Brought this RD400 To Ellaspede's workshop, And Ellaspede Team didn't think that this is a hard job as the competent custom builder. The things that should be concerned first were the custom frame, wheels, shockbreakers , brakes and the handlebars to achieve the cafe racer look. Sheldon bought the custom seat already, so the  Frame pipes customized to fit the custom seat as well. also the TT500 Sing arm just modified to fit the custom frame too.
