    Make Offer - 79 XS400 Parts

    Yea, its the original master cylinder and lever from a '79. Works fine. I replaced it with a ninja 250 one a few years ago. $20 would be fair for it. That's Vancouver area code right? Im in FL so it's a long way to ship it. Probly another $20 to ship it? I can package it up and find out...

    Vroom's 79 Build Thread- scrambler/brat?

    So I had to pull the carbs off a second time to really get at those pilot jets and clean the slides and needles... seems to be a common theme with these bikes lol. But.... she's all back together and running like a top now! Down low power is awesome and up top it tapers off a lil early, but...

    So this isn't the kind of update I had intended on, but anything is better than nothing... Carbs are out and the diagnosis is gunked up left carb. Apparently I somehow didn't drain the left side completely when storing it and the varnish left behind was pretty bad:doh: Gratuitous pics to...

    Progressive suspension upgrade

    So I did actually do this... they work great! Maybe a little on the stiff side to be honest, but she holds the line so much better and braking is so much more controlled.

    Relay arrived and I had a chance to test it. All systems go! :thumbsup: Headlight now turns on and she charges with 14.5v @3k rpms. An interesting note though, I experimented with running it with the relay unplugged and it still charged just fine. I find that very odd since plugging the oem...

    Relay should have been here Saturday... didn't show up though. Since it didn't arrive I got bored & also fabed up a new battery box:thumbsup: I used a junker I picked up and tried to go as minimalist as possible with it. The tabs for the wires and screw holes for the reg and rec are still...

    Pics as promised :thumbsup: Headlight relay & oem wires How my switch was previously wired(messed up my charging like this) How I temporarily mounted the reg & rec. Much easier to test and work on them this way :D All back together for test rides...

    Thanks. I had a chance to do a full test ride around the block and shes charging, which is a relief. Though, the headlight relay is def busted. Considering how much grief that switch I put in gave me, I'm wondering if I should try to replace the relay instead of trying to wire in a switch...
