Thanks Blu and Sauerkraut, the Borbets are my brothers! The texture is only a little bit rough BBS360. I wouldn't blast the covers if you want to polish them though.
Started putting the bike together, added new bronze bushings as well.
This looks amazing! I recently got my XS400 and I am just trying to get everything tuned, got the carbs cleaned, and I was wondering how your homemade monometer works? I have my bike with the vaccuum hose fuel petcock and my diy monometer uses the vaccuum, my diy was going to hack up a fuel tank with a manual petcock and doing that
Okay, that's what I thought. The prime position didn't work before I repaired the petcock, so I didn't know if it would work the same way with the fuel petcock repaired. Thanks!
When I tried to buy a manual petcock and install it, all I could find was the same thing on Ebay, so I bought one and both of the places on the petcock were blocked on my bike. The fuel output was blocked by my choke, and the vacuum on the other one I tried was blocked by where the fuel line normally would have ran.
I have what firestone has on his bike with no issues. Even easier to use with xs360 carbs. I noticed you have a dohc bike. That could be the issue. I am not sure what other dohc guys have used maybe someone will chime in.
The fuel hose is a bit in the way, but that's because of my fuel filter. Everything still works nicely though.
Took my xs400 to a motoshow in Estonia, called MotoExotica.
First day my bike was in a separate booth with another motorcycle (not shown in the pictures).
But in the evening the main organiser came and said that my bike looked cool and if I wanted to I could compete with other projects. I said hell yeah, and had to take the bike to a red carpet, where I was given a spot and a number so the visitors could vote for me.
Event lasted three days in total and I managed to get 4th place out of ten bikes. With just two days votes! Won a toolbox, two tickets to the next show and a free stay for two in a hotel. Great!
Thanks guys! Haven't been online much lately. Fixed the old valve cover cap, ohterwise been enjoying riding as much as possible. Weather is finally warm here in Estonia.
