I think I found it here: http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/1980/XS400G/FRONT%20WHEEL/parts.html Were all the front drum brake setup the same across the xs400 models? I.e., it doesn't matter that this is for a XS400G?

Yes I got forks, thank you. I need to figure out how to update this thread.

Ughhhh.. am I too late?

Looking for xs400 forks for drum brake, and both top and bottom triple tree clamps, thank you.
