HI i'm new here but been on the xs650 and cb750 forum for a long time. I picked up a 75 xs 500 with a complety trashed engine. I have a 79 xs400 engine that runs, wondering if any one has done this swap before. Thanks for having me here too.
 
Well last evening I put the 400 engine in the 500 frame, it fit in the cradle fine and would be easy to fab some mounts. But the 500 frame has two front down tubes and the exhuast ports in the 400 engine line up directly with the down tubes. It can be done but would have to remove the two down tubes and weld in a single tube to acomadate the 400 engine. I think i'm going to let this swap go and look for a 650 engine to put in this frame instead. anyone in the area looking for a running 400 engine let me know thanks.
