Does anyone know the legnth of the stock exhaust on a 79 XS400F ?
I am another fan of peace and quiet and assume that replacing to a full leghth will be quiter than a shorty or mid leghth pipe.
I had replaced them some time ago with universal mid size megaphones from JC Whitney but they are due to be replaced again due to rust. They are quiet at idle but that's it.
Also I don't think that I had ever re-jetted the carbs and don't care to do so if I don't have to.
I do want power, but stock air filters and exhaust is fine for me and I do like the quiet sound of it.

If I want noise I'll ride my 82 Harley.
 
32" with a 1" outlet.:)

Wow. Nice pipe ! Is that aftermarket, and if so where did you find them ?
Can you recommend a good source for resto parts?
Thanks for the info. Would love to see pix of your 79 resto.
I did get mine running. I needed to see if it would run before proceeding with the rest.
Thanks.
 
The pipe is N.O.S there was a company called sito that made a sort of copy of these but don't see them anymore. There is a place called speedandsport the has a lot of N.O.S parts but the prices are crazy and a lot of it is drying up.
