where did you get the seat pan? Thx!

finally got some unis, my goodness what a difference, no more sputtering, the flat spot seems to have disappeared, I only checked on my short ride to work this morning

cool, I'll see if I can find a set of H pipes in my parts bins, I've been planning on ordering a set of Unis too

I'm on the 2nd from the bottom, I've had a few sets of 80 and 81 carbs and they've all had adjustable needles, maybe they're different for the Canadian models? It was breaking up much more wide open at around 6.5k

Thanks! I tried this but used 142.5 mains as I didn't have any 135s, it's much better, the PO had 55 for pilots and 155 for mains. The response is now super smooth right through the revs/throttle positions, it does break up at 7.5 K, like it's lean, should I go larger on the mains and/or raise...

I bought this rusted, seized up '79 last fall for $200, I've been waiting for parts for another project so I figured I'd get started on this one, pulled off the exhausts, valve cover, sprocket cover, starter motor cover and motor mounts with only one broken bolt (exhaust) - I can't wait to open...

I spent the last 3 days trying to get my bike to fire on both cylinders and finally had success today, the issue was the connector from the ignitor module, oh also I put on a new seat, that took me 2 days as well - it's this one - http://r.ebay.com/4SpmBN - it looks pretty good on, I'll post...

yeah, that's where I'm putting mine, I'm using a gsxr750 battery, they're pretty small and inexpensive

is this the one you bought? http://www.regulatorrectifier.com/catalog/1981-Yamaha-XS400H-Regulator-Rectifier - there are re-wiring instructions

I see tons of DOHC stators on ebay for cheap, not so many SOHC, does anybody know if they'll bolt in?

I purchased a couple of these - Yamaha XJ400, XS400 DOHC, XJ550, FZ600, XJ600 (80-91), XJ650 Regulator Rectifier http://r.ebay.com/zG4VCN - I cut the connections off the old regulator and rectifier and hooked them up to it, the only issue is there are 2 green wires, I found an XJ600 wiring...

Hey everybody, I'm using a handlebar switch I bought from Ebay, LED Signal Lights - 2 wires, and a 3 wire flasher, I want to bypass the cancelling unit to keep things simple for now. I presently have no signal lights working: At the switch: Brown/White connected to common pole (both lights)...

yeah, that's low down on my list, once I get everything on it I'm gonna ride it for a season and then pull it all apart and clean it up properly

made the brake bracket out of 1/4" T6, it's strong and stiff

here is as of today - getting closer

I'm getting close, since my last post: new rear shocks, mounted a front fender, shorty exhausts, hayabusa right hand rearset (the cheapest brake pedal, peg, master cylinder, brake light switch I could find), rear caliper (w custom fabbed hanger and torque arm), my seat's being re-upholstered and...

looks great, I'll do something similar with my next one

so you could probably stuff a bunch of short narrow pipes around the baffle of a shorty muffler to reduce the volume perhaps?

I also have a broken bolt, and have had many in my time, with very little luck removing them, I have never tried PB Blaster so I did a search PB Blaster Vs. Liquid Wrench: http://www.wranglerforum.com/f19/which-is-better-pb-blaster-liquid-wrench-136018.html good read, I wanna try Kroil and K9P now

I had to move the coils down, it almost goes on, it's a little snug, I'm going to gently hammer it, but yeah, pretty good
