I ended up finding one on eBay. After initially buying the incorrect one, it was easy to not repeat the mistake now that I knew what to look for.

Yeah, sort of. I've got a beat-up spare but I doubt it's even really worth the shipping

I was reluctant at first because I was convinced it should have worked as is, but I took your advice and it worked perfectly. Straightened the arm and adjusted the angle of the toe peg to make it perpendicular to the bike again. Now works like a champ. Thanks all!

So, this is a weird one for me: When I got my XS400 project, I seem to recall the shifter clearing the case and the engine enough to change gears. There's even a mark on the case where the backside of the shifter had worn it. Since then, the shifter, case and exhaust have been off for various...

Ah yes, I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba. (Central Canada) 1low, I'll strip the wiring harness off the frame tomorrow and box + weigh it for a shipping estimate. primitive, I haven't got the slightest clue as to the condition of the engine. It has been sitting for a very long time with the exhaust...

You guys seem to be more knowledgeable about the finer points of XS400 variants than eBay sellers, and frankly, I'm just getting confused. I need a fuel lid for my '82 XS400 SJ... I think. I'm still having trouble pinning down exactly what model it is, but it's not the same lid as the 78-81...

If you see something you want, in one of those pics, send me an offer for it. I'll be hard to offend. I understand that shipping most larger pieces to the 'States is going to be about $30 per item, so I'm not looking for much per item. Some things I'll send for the price of shipping. It's more...

I have a 1982(?) XS400 parts bike that I would like to strip before disposing of the frame. Right off the bat, I can tell you what it does not have: -no exhaust -no rear wheel -no intake -no carbs -no starter -no seat -no tank -no bars The rest is pretty much all there. Pics to...

Something like that would be ideal. V_O_B, I really don't need the whole master, mine is in great shape. I actually cleaned up the rubber gasket today too so it's just the rust stains on the reservoir that bother me. I'd feel bad lowballing you on the whole master, and I've already got two.

Have you got these three bits, but in great condition? After I freshen up the front brakes and move on the to the next part, I'm sure I'll find something else to ask you about.
