Both of the mirrors on mine were like that. I bought a new set of mirrors

It's a device designed to keep well endowed female motorcycle passengers from beating the operator to death on rough roads.

I used this one. http://www.dimecitycycles.com/7-inch-gloss-black-modern-british-style-headlight-assembly.html Much better but it's a bit bigger than my stock light so it took some work to mount.

How are those carbs going to hold up to a blow through turbo setup? On cars it takes some mods to get a Holley to work.

Lights are the few things I did change on mine. The headlight was rather anemic and I didn't like the looks of the huge turn signals and tail light at all. http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15295 Nothing changed that can't fairly easily be put back to stock.

I used these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-Turn-Signal-Indicator-Relocation-Fork-Clamp-Kit-Fit-31-33-39-41-43MM-/281366793285?hash=item4182c48c45 Not the best but they'll serve the purpose until I find something better that fits.

Thanks all. I'll check for the rubber bumpers. All the factory parts are being safely stored away.

I just noticed that side stand is hitting the bottom of the muffler to the point that it has dented it. Is there supposed to be something that stops this? I'm planning on new mufflers this summer and would prefer they not get dented too soon.

...at least until I get my shop wired and the compressor running. No big changes just tidied things up a bit and got rid of some stock parts namely lights that bugged me. A few quick shots.

Electronic fuel injection would be a better way to go I would think. Are there any motorcycles that use direct port injection? If there are you might be able to adapt injectors from one. The problem would be controlling it. You'd have to adapt a computer and be able to program it and you'd also...

Started my bike to see if I had the lights hooked up right and noticed even after it's warmed up it will rev smoothly from idle to 2000 rpm then jump from 2000 to 3000. It will not hold rpm between 2000 and 3000 It's fine from idle to 2000 and 3000 up but not in between. Is this most likely...

I was told the same thing about blinding people by a guy at work. I'm just going to use a halogen H4 for now. I'll give one of the LED bulbs a try later if I feel the need. My brother in law wants to try to make the HID work in his snowmobile so I might let him.

UPS has arrived. I'll probably try to install it this weekend.

The ballast on the HID bulb I got is smaller than it looked to me in the pictures. It shouldn't be too hard to hide. I'm still waiting on the headlight I ordered. That is supposed to be here tomorrow.

Got this on the way. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bkm-26-6400 If it doesn't pan out I'll give the LED one a try.

Good to know. Thanks

Thanks. Guess I'll be getting one. I work nights and live out in the sticks so a decent headlight is almost mandatory. The stock one is pretty pathetic from the little sneaking around the back roads I've done..

The HIDs look interesting except where do you put the ballast?

This is what I have coming? Any good or did I waist my money. Probably should have asked before I bought it lol. http://www.dimecitycycles.com/7-inch-gloss-black-modern-british-style-headlight-assembly.html I've also put a LED taillight on it in hopes that it would help.

Umpa Lumpa's got their turn signals back. I think these look much better. Still have to install the fronts but I'm waiting for my new headlight.
