Call me lazy or whatever else fits but I'm looking for prefabed wiring harness for my 1977 XS400. I've tinkered with the factory harness enough and it's time to put a new one in. I'd prefer to just plug and play. However, I've spent some time reading over Drewpy's how to on wiring and feel...

Alright guys I've got a 77 and the factory tire sizes are 90/90 18 and 110/90 18. I want to run fatter tire on both front and rear. Has anyone gone bigger and not had to do any mods with a 110/90 18 front and a 120/90 18 rear. Or should I go with a 110/80 18 and a 120/80 18 for a lower profile?

A few weeks ago I installed some small led blinkers on the ol girl and for some reason they aren't flashing. Does anyone know if getting an updated flasher will cure this problem or are the led designed to run a different way? On a side note i've finally been able to get the frame cut and a...

Hopefully someone will be able to tell me for sure. I just picked up complete kick start assembly from one of our fellow members here, which is from a 78 model. From what I've read the assemblies are compatible on models from 77-79. Is this correct and will it be compatible for my bike? Thanks...

Hey guys, I've completely turned my bike around from what it was when I got it. I've finally got all the mechanical and electrical issues cleared up with the exception of the carbs. After cleaning and cleaning and cleaning I've ridden it quite a bit but they simply need to be rebuilt. Where is...

Hey guys I'm brand new to the site. Just wanted to introduce myself and my bike to the site. I found this bike running for a really good deal and couldn't pass it up. It runs great, but has some idle issues. As you can see from the pic the exhaust has been chopped off and the paint needs to be...
