    MODS HELP:hack attempt

    I got the spammer log on warning last night. As I sold my XS about 4 or 5 years ago I'd probably best delete my account. Have fun guys, toodle-pip ...............

    For Sale - UK - XS400 bottom end £20

    Shame, if no-one else wants it, would you be interested in generator/rods/oil pump or what ? I could break it and post some bits, it's the crank and cases that are the PIA to post.

    For Sale - UK - XS400 bottom end £20

    As title, XS400 bottom end (sohc), bought several years ago when I had the 250. Never managed to find a cheap top end for it, sold the 250, so no point in leaving it under my bench ! Includes all attachments at bottom as far as I remember, but will need a strip down, as has been open and...

    Bolt on hardtail?

    Personally, (and it's just my opinion), struts are a bit daft, and you may even find in some States that it may not pass your safety checks, (as it renders your suspension inoperable). I would either go rigid properly, or if you're on such a tight budget, find some shocks that are just an inch...

    Bolt on hardtail?

    Bolt on kits are for frames with bolt on rear subframes, the most well known being the sixties Triumphs, you literally bolt off the seat subframe, and bolt on the hardtail. The XS Yams have a one piece frame that's welded, you cut off the rear part of the frame, and weld on the hardtail.

    Most miles on an XS400?

    Damn, I didn't keep a record or picture of the speedo on my XS250 when I sold her recently, but I know the mileage was way up, in the fourties or fifties I think ...... (miles not Km!!!).

    HOW TO: Make your own Knee Dent Tank

    The early Gold Wing tanks were fake, covering the electrics, with the real fuel tank under the seat - were the later ones conventional ?

    Wanted - Wanted - Rear mudguard - UK

    Hi all, just wondered if anyone in the UK had a reasonable rear mudguard, (for a non-special model), going spare ? Doesn't have to be concours, just tidy. Drewpy, CadXS perhaps ? Mine is so rusty I think it's about to fall off :laugh:
