XS400 Addict
First off, hi. This is my first post on the forums. I'm a kid living in Pittsburgh, and I just got my XS400 about a month ago. I'll post a proper introduction some time in the near future.
Anyway, I've spent the last couple days pulling off and measuring every nut and bolt I could get my hands on that wasn't holding together the engine and sourcing them all online in stainless steel. I have not ordered the set, and do not plan on dumping $200 on fasteners anytime soon, but I'm pretty sure its quite accurate, and I wont be double checking if I ever do order it. That being said, I guarantee there is at least one error of quantity. There are some things not included. A couple things that come to mind are the exhaust header studs, which have been substituted by one 1M fully threaded rod, which will need cut. Where the exact sizes could not be ordered or were obscenely expensive, I generally chose the next largest size, usually just 1mm difference. Some dremel work may be required. Most flange bolts have been substituted by a hex bolt and washer because of stock availabilities. Some non-essential bolts that come partially threaded stock were ordered as fully threaded to cut down on costs. Circlips are not included, and some cotter pins may be missing. The lower triple tree bolts are also not yet included. Blah, blah, blah, here's the link:

Oh, and if someone has done this already, just don't even tell me.
