Hello everyone. I hope its warm enough to ride where you are :wink2: I have a 1980 XS400G with front drum brakes. I purchased these forks:. They are from a 1978 disc brake model. The forks are beautiful and were relatively cheap, but they obviously don't work with drum brakes. So, I've...

So, I freaked out about this little guy: Apparently there is just a weird hole that looks like it should have a bolt in it, but it isn't actually a hole and it doesn't have any threads. I guess I should go look again next time and not rely on my poor memory to determine these sorts of...

Thanks for the size drewpy, I should have one in the mail tomorrow. The underside of my crank case has been oily and nasty since I got the bike a year and a half ago. I noticed the missing bolt a few months back and I have been meaning to investigate it. I don't know how I've been driving...

You're kidding?? How the heck do I hold any oil in the crankcase without it. Thanks for the offer xschris, how much you want for one?

I just bought a pair of NOS off ebay for $50, I wish I would have seen this post before since I definitely need the tank to match :shrug:

Is the tank still available?

I just wanted to share my *final* carb jetting for others interested. I have the after-market MAC 2-1 exhaust, and small round pod filters shown in the picture. This is for the 1980 XS400G model. I have the pilot screws turned out 4.5 turns on the left, and 6 on the right cylinder. I may...

Ok, I found a NOS part on ebay and I went ahead and ordered it. I'm still convinced any brake cable would work, but I don't won't to spend money on something unless I'm sure it would work. Thanks for the replies :thumbsup:

Hello and Happy Memorial Day! :bike: I have a quick question that I'm hoping somebody will be able to answer. I have a 1980 XS400 Special II with the front drum brakes, and I need a new brake cable. I found an exact OEM cable, but its a little expensive. I know a few of the early 70s...
