Well, yes, exactly that part ! That is a great link thank-you. but for just ordering that part it's hard for me to justify the 7.95 shipping, so I was hoping someone would have one they didn't need for sale.

Just on the chance someone does not know this, Yamaha has just about all parts books online.

Go to:

http://www.yamaha-motor.com/home_parts.aspx

Then click on the Star Cycles link, I know an XS400 was not a Star when it was built but that is where the bikes are listed.
Unfortunately you will see "Discontinued" next to most parts but just having the original part number can help when doing a search online for someone selling old parts. I think Boats.net also has the parts books there too.

Besides looking up part numbers having the parts break-down to look at can answer many questions during assembly of that bike you took apart five years ago and are just getting around to putting it back together!

I have seen them on ebay for a few buck also.

Bookmarked that link! No I didn't even think to look for original parts from Yamaha, I always look at the aftermarket suppliers. The part numbers defiantly help when searching for the part. I have seen this part on other sites, prices vary wildly, but shipping alone was more than the part! Local dealer just ordered and I go pick up in a few days!

Not sure of all dealers but sometimes if you are not in a hurry and tell them to put it on their next stock order there will be no incoming freight charges
