    Wanted - 1979 XS400 Front Fender No Damage

    I have a fender off of an 81 that's been unmolested and in good shape. Not sure if it would fit your 79 or not. Has a bit of sharpie on it from po, should come right off with some cleaner

    What did you do with your XS today?

    Contemplated the existence of life and paint schemes.

    Carburetor upgrade questions

    Freeway speeds won't be necessary for me. However, you guys will probably be happy to hear that due to funding issues I'll probably end up with the original carbs. My "oh it'll never break down because it's German" airhead took a turn for the worse this past weekend. I'll probably end up...

    Carburetor upgrade questions

    Now when people are talking a plug chop, what are they referring to? Kind of new to all of this.. Is it to check plug condition after a beat run or something?

    Carburetor upgrade questions

    It'll be an occasionally ridden bike. I have an airhead that's my daily rider. I'd like stacks because I like how they look, and if I'm unlucky and they suck in one of the pigeon sized mosquitos we have in Wisconsin it'll just be another reason to rebuild my motor. I'm a glass half full...

    Carburetor upgrade questions

    I've heard flat slides are a pita to tune, but I was worried that I'd be stuck with a doughy throttle if I went with the round slides. Are there any obvious issues with running velocity stacks on the vm series? Also, possibly a stupid question, but side draft? Are they even a feesible option...

    Carburetor upgrade questions

    Well guys and gals, it's nearing time for me to finally cobble my xs project together. Last year my stock carbs did real well for me, but they've been sitting in my garage all winter and I'm honestly not in the mood to rebuild them. All the nightmares I've heard of ripping those things apart...

    Rear disc axle spacers?

    I'm swapping over from rear drum to rear disc but my setup didn't come with an axle. I'm assuming the axle off my 81 rear drum setup is the same overall length and diameter, but I'm unsure about spacers. I tried to find any variances while looking on parts diagrams from Babbitt's Yamaha parts...

    For Sale - Rear disc conversion

    Shipped? Probably close to the 600 dollar mark. USPS shipping ain't what it used to be

    Rear axle alternatives

    Head to a machine shop. If the work is slow they'd probably turn one down for you for about 50 bucks. Save them the time and get all the measurements you need and I'd suggest bringing the original rear axle in with you. I'm sure you could probably find bikes with a similar rear axle size by...

    For Sale - Starter delete plug

    Okay, so I'm not personally selling one. But I stumbled across a pretty cool site a while back but wanted to wait until I experienced the company first hand before I posted anything. Ordered some things, then kind of forgot about them. They sell some odd ball parts, such as a tach cable...

    xs400 Headlights

    Legality probably has a lot to do with location. I live in Harley country and you'd be surprised by what some of the bikes around here get away with. Personally I'd just throw em on and see if you get a ticket for them, but I'm a punk kid so..

    Help a dumb guy?

    Yeah I can assume that'd go over like a fart in a space suit.. we use the black oxide button heads at work but the things rust at the slightest sign of moisture. However I know those suckers hold.
