In my opinion the round cowl doesn't clash with the angled tank as much as you think. Doesn't look bad at all. One thing I would have proposed it a thin stripe on each side of the thick brown stripe. I think it always looks better than a single syripe. I know it's a bit late. Do like that you...

I ended up packing the mufflers with stainless scrub pads. Just one in each muffler. I haven't really been able to hear them on the 360 as I am waiting for new carb boots, but I did mount them on one of my XS1100's and they sounded much better. I actually think I may go with them on that as...

I am in search of some new carb boots. The ones between the head and carbs. Does anyone know if xs400 boots are the same?

Thanks for the ideas fellas. It is a low tone, just stupid load. I have the carb tuned in almost perfect. Much easier to sync and set idle mixture than the xs11. Barely had to do anything, and that was prior to noticing one of the boots had torn putting the carbs in. Should be even easier this...

I am looking for replacement coils for my XS360 with points ignition. I have looked on here but havent found any clear options. Will the xs400 coils with replaceable wires. work? Anyone use the mikes xs coils? I know the xs1100 ones work like a shit sandwich. Why I'm at it has anyone switched to...

Well tonight I became the owner of a pair 1977 XS360s. I joined the forum prior to this purchase as I have been looking for a XS400 for awhile. But as all the 400s in the area seem to be specials I jumped at these. One is a running titled bike and the other is a running non titled. I am a...
