.... no. It depends on the type of bearing, too. You might not be able to put a spacer on top of certain types of bearings. You have to look at how the bearing is going to take the load top & bottom not just ID/OD. Also just FYI I ordered several sets of bearings from allballs. You see in the...

Here is a picture of the XS400 project with the GSXr front end. Got to this stage and ended up being some things we didn't like, so broke it back down to make some minor changes.

I have no idea what you mean by a conversion kit. You could pull a front end off of a 2011 Harley and make it fit. Bearing size doesn't matter. There are tons of bearings out there. TONS! I got a set of bearings for my front end that had the same ID as the OD of the GSXr center tube and the...

You need to look at a lot more than just "bearing size." You need the ID, OD, thickness, type, and probably what will be the most important thing, the length of the center stem. I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I bet you a quarter the triple tree you want to "bolt on" has a much longer center...

Yeah when I hit the switch they all four come on. That was my next question. I'll do some more searches. Thanks!!

I'm using LED blinkers on my XS build. I'm wanting to replace my stock flasher relay with an LED flasher relay. Anyone by chance know which relay to use? My stock relay is a 3-pin relay labeled C, L,.and B. I was looking up LED flasher replays at superbrightleds.com. I shot them an email and...

Do you by chance know which relay to use? My stock relay is a 3-pin relay labeled C, L, and B. I shot them an email and the response I got back was they *think* the 2-pin CF12ANL-01 would work. I would have assumed I needed a 3-pin replacement. Let me know if you by chance know which one to...

2007 Suzuki XS400. And no, it's not a direct bolt on. LOL a LOT of fabrication work to get the front end to work with the XS frame and front wheel.

Thanks guys!

Nope, not running. I was not aware the headlight wouldn't turn on unless it is running. If so, then that may very well be the problem! Thanks for the heads up on the LED relay, as well! :D

Greetings! I recently purchased new handlebar switches from MikesXS. They have arrived and look great. The right hand switch installation was simple. The left hand switch, not so much. I have blinkers and a horn, but no headlight. I have a 1981 XS400. The original light switch had 6-wires...

Frame (neck) and title?

If you want more pictures or close ups or whatever just let me know.

Sorry for a late reply. Here are some pictures. Need a good cleaning, but overall not in bad shape at all.
