    how many spacers are on the rear axel?

    There is one on the right that goes against the drum cover and one in the left that goes inside the oil seal, against the inner race of the bearing and it has the dust cover around it.

    XS360 and XS400 motor swap

    Isnt it lighter because 360 has lighter pistons so it has less counterweight in the crank? Then if you swap the cranks you will get more vibration, no?

    Wheel bearings

    No, the bearings are not special, one rear bearing even has a flange in it to make it fit the rear axel. If i dig around a bit maybe i can find the Koyo part numbers for them cause i just bought them but threw away the boxes.
