    1980 400 Special

    hi Josh, first thing i did on my 81 special was to get a new front brake line because the brake had a spongy feeling. I got the new brake line from www.helperformance.com, they are mid range on price and top notch on quality.

    some modded xs400's

    well, also have in mind that matching tires in stock size are not always easy to come by, the only available tiresize with decent rubber for me is 130/90-16 & 100/90-18 from the dealers that dont cost a fortune with shipping. i prefer a great grip

I´ve got a 82 special from germany, with 27hp(probably less), need to get that restriction eliminated it because highway cruising is not fun at all.

    Café from the heart of Europe (intro & build)

    Hey man! I'm impressed by your attention to detail! Im planning on getting rs125 forks, i got most of it figured out, got a motogadget speedo with magnet sensor, so i only need to worry about the front brake, how did you fix it? would it be a bolt on if you used the original aprillia caliper?

    I have those Emgo megaton mufflers on my 82 xs400 special, they look the same as the dimecity ones. I had to use exhaust tape as a gasket to make them fit on the stock headpipes.
