So I just finished a small rewire on my XS400, lengthened some wires and shortened others up to help them fit my cafe/brat seat. Just finished connecting all of my new terminals and plugging everything in and what do you know, it isn't charging. I am running a brand new R292 regulator for the...

Hey, just got my stator rewound by the guys over at Custom Rewind, looks like a very professional job and the guys were really helpful and quick with the job. All in all the charge came to 100$. The custom rewind guy's seperated my stator and field coil too which didn't seem like that big...

Hey folks, I have gotten to the point where I am looking into getting all of the tubing and joints to weld my frame loop. I have cut off the rear section of my frame and am going to be welding on a frame loop to accommodate a flat tracker/brat seat. With this I am looking at finding something to...

Hey, I'm looking at replacing my crappy old fork seals. I have my 33mm forks but after hours of searching can't find technical sizes for the fork seals or dust wipers :banghead: P.S. Any tips on fork oil weight?

Hey, Started my first build on my first bike about a month ago on my 1980 Yamaha XS400 SII. This is going to be my first bike, project, and my introduction to the world of motorcycling. Looking to make make this into a Bratstyle/Cafe bike. She is going to be running a bare tank, OD green...

I've had trouble with my clip on bars slipping on the forks. Don't know if I should clean down the forks, use some type of adhesive for the forks, or anything else. Any suggestions would be appreciated
