So I finally put my clubman bars and bar end mirrors on. I like the change in the look a lot BUT it is not very comfortable with this high seat. I have to decide whether I want to deal with it until I build the cafe seat or if I should just flip them over for now and flip them back later...

So I gave in a couple weeks ago and took my bike in to the local shop to find out what was wrong with it. I had put some time into (see previous thread) but I really don't have a lot to spare. After dropping it at the local shop (Daly City) and being warned that the mechs may not work on it...

http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2012/2/21/1976-yamaha-xs360-bombshell-customs.html WOW, all I can say is WOW! To quote the creator "It was like a bobber fucked a cafe racer and gave birth to a boardtracker - or something like that."

I am looking for a center stand for my 77 xs400d, I can only assume that the 76 and 78 stands will work but i have no clue if any others will. anyone with a spare laying around?

I am looking for the chunk of frame that the foot controls mount to for each side. Probably from one of you guys that has built a bobber. The goal is to send them off to a guy who is on dotheton.com and xs650.com who makes rear sets so that he can fab the mounting plate for us. If i can get...

So previously i couldnt get the bike to idle at all, now for some crazy reason it will only idle reliably with the gas tank off which leads me to think the bowls are over filling. (my floats are set at 26mm but i wont rule out bad needles) If i do let it idle with the tank connected the idle...

So guys I am curious, do you like to listen to music while you are working or do you prefer the silence and the tools? If you do listen to music, what are your go to bands, playlists, stations?

So I put my bike back together yesterday after replacing the battery, draining the tank, changing the oil and filter, cleaning the carbs and putting some cleaner in the fuel. I tried to start it up and no luck although it was a cold day so i was not too bothered. So today, I tried again and...

So my buddy and I decided to share a blog on our bikes and builds. I am working on my 77 xs400d (no surprise if you look at my handle) and my buddy is building a bobber (it was a tracker build at first) out o his 3 xs650s he picked up for a pretty damn good deal. I am building more of a cafe...

I want to make a second seat that is more cafe but I don't want to get rid of my current seat so I can swap it on when my gf rides on back. I am looking for a reasonably priced seat pan and tail piece for my 400d. Foam and cover condition don't matter (don't really need it). Anyone have...

I am going to change the oil in my xs since i seem to have filled the crankcase with gasoline...=(. In the manual it says to use 20w/40 for above 5c or 41f and to use 10w/30 for below 15c or 59f. I live basically in san francisco and it doesnt usually fall below 41 although it does ocassionaly...
