    Wire Tuck Question

    Hey guys, I've been getting ready to make a new wiring harness for the XS. I realized it was a good idea after mocking up the essential electricals in the custom battery box. But I was having a beer with a friend who suggested running wires through the frame. I'd never considered it before now...

    PWK Carbs

    Hey folks, apologies in advance for what's likely an old topic. I'm planning parts for my build and noticed one other person who'd picked up a set of PWK carbs. After further reading I discovered that they lean the mixture on the high end for better output. But I havent seen other 400's...
