    New tire valve stem is still leaking at base

    Hey guys I have a 1981 xs400 with tubeless tires and non-spoke wheels. I noticed I had a small leak coming from the base of my valve stem on my rear wheel so I replaced it. I got a stem that is nearly identical from my local Napa. It’s the metal kind with the rubber grommet on the inner side...

    Noobie Seat question

    Hey guys I’ve got an 81 xs400 that I’ve slowly been doing a brat build on. I’d like to chop the frame soon and weld in a hoop for a new seat. My question is will my stock battery box work with a seat? My buddy told me I’d have to lower the battery but I don’t see why I’d have to do that. It...
