    The answer to both questions is yes. Use the search function, you'll find everything you need. Search for "Manometer". You can make one cheap. Jacob ...detritus.

    How many miles on your xs?

    This happened the other day. It is a replacement speedo, but it's about right. The old one had 30,000 km when it froze.

    need some tire advice

    I just put two dual sports on mine. I think the factory size is 110/90-18. I put a Kenda k-761 120/80-18 in rear and a 110/80-18 in front and have no clearance issues (no front or rear fender though). It looks just about right. I'm pretty sure they went to tubeless in 1980 on the alloys. Don't...

    tube or tubless?

    You can put any tubeless tire on and still use a tube. 1979 is the last year (I think) for tube type rims. The rule I've read is that if you use a tube in a tubeless tire, you subtract 1 grade from the speed rating.

    1979 xs400 "no label" build(?)

    Alright, here's the latest. Sissy bar, new tires, tail light. She's kinda short and stout, like me, I'm 5'7" 205lbs. We make a fine pair. I think I'll do some header wrap and something shiny at end of the pipes. Then maybe gold paint. What do you think?

    Same size "look" front and rear tires

    Got them in and got them on. It wasn't so bad changing them myself. Probably took an hour each (including having to patch both tubes from one pinch hole each that i made). Here you go: front 110/80-18 rear 120/80-18 Kenda k-761

    Gun Thread

    Those are some good points, especially the one in reference to spraying gasoline. Crazy people will do crazy things, with whatever the have access to. Do you really think controlling guns is "control for the sake of control" though? I have hijacked (shoot me). We should start a gun control...
