Hey everyone. Once my bike is back together, I'll be using pod filters and also running the stock headers with new mufflers with no more h-pipe. I know this will mean I'll have to re-jet in order for the bike to run correctly. Is there a tried and true way to figure out what size jets I'll need...

Hey all. I'm wondering what you all can show me in the way of aftermarket mufflers using the stock headers. I'm not exactly wild over the Mac 2-1 I've seen floating around, plus they're a bit more than I'd like to spend. I'm looking to remove the stock megaphones (and the h-pipe connecting)...

Hey all. New owner of an '82 XS400 Special here. Well, not really new. I've had the thing for 2 years, but they were mostly filled with cockeyed staring and speculation. Alas, aforementioned staring and speculation does not a bike build, so here I am. I'll start with some photos, since nobody...

Apologies if this has been covered already in great detail, but I haven't found the search option to be terribly intuitive. I'm wondering what my options are, battery-wise, if I'm not interested in my bike being kick only. I'd like to clean up the area where the battery currently is and a...

Forgive me if this is rather elementary, but will this 650 condenser work on a 400? http://www.mikesxs.net/product/26-5114.html

Hi all, I'm new here, about to lay into a 1980 XS400 special. Was hoping to get an idea of how my seat plans might pan out from those of you who have done something similar. I'm looking to do an upturned frame loop similar to the setups on these CB's: The clean frame line along with the...
