    "professionally" built tracker

    Good for you! :bike: I REALLY like the looks of that bike, and may TRY to emulate the general look of it. I like the look of the tank, and the rear end. Please be sure to tell us how it handles after you have had some time to ride.

    Modifying the stock exhaust

    I hope the pictures help you out some. I put a white paint mark on the spot where i took a large pipe cutter, and cut off the muffler. Be careful to just cut the outer muffler. The headers are actually double wall pipe. They just stick into the muffler about 10", which is then welded on. You...

    Modifying the stock exhaust

    jmd... Before you just "cut off" the mufflers from the headers, let me take a picture of my headers that i cut the mufflers off of from my 81s. It will help you alot to see where you are going. A large tubing cutter will be of great help to you. I will get the pictures posted later tonight.

    1981 xs400SG Brakes Overhaul or update them?

    Thanks leo, good info. Are you also saying that the entire MC/Caliper is interchangeable? Mine are in such poor condition, i may just replace them, rather than try to rebuild them. I am finding most EVERYTHING on this bike is in sad shape.

    1981 xs400SG Brakes Overhaul or update them?

    Having assessed the front brakes on this beast, i have come to the conclusion that everything must be rebuilt or replaced. Is there an updated master cylinder / caliper setup someone can recommend? Or should i just get the kits for my original MC/C, and try to rebuild them? The originals are in...

    Abandoned...found a bike in the bushes.

    I picked these up off of ebay, the price was right, and with a 1.25" inlet, they slide right on my stock headers that i cut the mufflers off of. They are pretty heavy and well chromed, but sadly i will end up painting them after i grind the mounting brackets off of them.

    Has anyone tried using a RU-2970 K&N air filter?
