    Braided brake cables from Mikesxs

    Sorry I didn't explain it well at first. On my phone trying to type. I purchased the braided 20 inch cable. The length isn't enough to go from caliper to master cylinder. 20 appears to be the longest Mikesxs carries.... Except for the 24 inch rear line. I was wondering if the rear cable will...

    Braided brake cables from Mikesxs

    Does anybody know if the 24 inch rear braided cable will fit in front end? I bought the 20 inch front but it won't fit. Thanks.

    Does this axle/fork spacing look correct?

    I got everything centered now, with the speedo drive tight to fork. I think the issue is the axle itself. The larger diameter part is too long and doesn't allow the axle to go far enough in so I can put the cotter key in other side. Did Yamaha use different axles on different wheels?

    Front brake disc conversion

    Could I just purchase one fork? Whichever side has the mounting for a Caliper? If not, what forks would fit? I see some on eBay for 82-83 maxims. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Front brake disc conversion

    Hers guys. I own a 1981 xs400h in which I'm converting to a cafe. I purchased a 400s wheel and disc. I've been looking at the mikesxs page and saw they have xs650 calipers. Would they fit my bike? And is it plug and play with the braided brake line and perch/master cylinder? Thanks.

    complete newbie with xs400

    We'll I think I'm gonna just strip the bike and start customizing it, then wire up the bike from scratch. I wanted to just get the bike running at first, but it might as well dive right in. Thanks all for the help! I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future.

    Thanks for the help. So, the wires are loose. Do I need to close them off somehow? Or can they stay loose?
