    Re-Installing the intake h-pipe with current pods

    So I already have Pod filters installed directly on my carbs, but wanted to re-install the h-pipe(for various reasons). I noticed that the sizing is actually a bit smaller on the other end of it though, so my pod filters currently on the carbs won't just transfer over. The pods are actually...

    PMA Kit- How close is this to what we would need?

    I know this subject has been brought up in various threads, but I feel it deserves one more... To be clear, the idea is a Permanent Magnet Alternator(PMA) to be able to run the bike with no battery at all(or a very very small battery). I found this kit on MikesXS...

    Is it silly to even ask???

    I can't imagine this not having been asked before, but figured it would be a fun topic:D Has anyone ever stuffed an xs650 motor in an xs400 frame??? Can it even be done? I'm sure it would be beyond my skill set if possible, but to me that would be the best of both worlds... love the motor...
