  1. Thanks Drewpy. And I have a question, didn't you change your Swingarm to let a wider tire fit, or am I mistaken.Or is there even an easy way to go about that?
  2. This is the link for the calipers. http://www.mikesxs.net/products-50.html#products I just dont feel like ordering it and it being crap. That and I know I saw it on here before but the swap from single disk to dual on the XS400, I think you use the forks from the xs650 right?
  3. Hey, looking for a direct replacement for my Caliper on my 1981 XS400, if anyone knows where to get one new, replacement, or whatever let me know, It's driving me crazy, because I want to think the ones from MikesXS will work, but I want to check.
  4. Thanks appreciate the help and opinions!
  5. Thanks, Just didn't know if anyone here had tried the set up or not. And one more thing what about the brake calipers, they are the same from Mikesxs for the 650 as the 400?

    Keihin Carbs

    Hey, I was wondering, MikesXS has the XS Performance Keihin Carb Kit, Was curious if if it would work on the XS400, Before I dropped the money on them. http://www.mikesxs.net/products-82.html#products Thanks in advance.
  7. Thanks Chris let me know what you get figured out about the tag mount.
  8. Nice, How'd you mount your tag? What about blinkers one the back? I appreciate all the help.
  9. Thanks.=] Do you have any pictures of your 81? list of mods maybe Haha I'd like to get some ideas, anything. Another question, Any way to get dual disk up front? Mines only single. And what about disk brakes in the back?
  10. Don't mind at all we are all trying to learn. And I have another good question, Can you paint chrome or do you need to knock it off to bare metal?
  11. Hey thanks! I apreciate it, Any other ones? Maybe More like either of the pics? Sheet metal better or worse? How about how to put the tag like that Triumph?
  12. I like the look of that Cafe racer but I doubt I could make a seat pan that looked anything like that. Or I quite like the seat pan from this Tag mount and all I'm just not sure how to make the shapes, What to cut, how to mount or anything. So any advice, info links would be nice. Thanks.
  13. Thanks Drewpy I just really don't like the Boxy gas tanks, But I don't know how to make a Cafe racer seat, what to use or anything. Any guides to Cafe Seats like that? Place to buy? How about your Tracker you're building, what all does that involve? And I am honestly afraid to hack on anything on the bike. Because I'll more than likely mess up.
  14. Thats the one thing I wouldn't want to change on the bike is the gas tank.I like it better than the boxy one. Sadly I bought the bike for 250 Didn't run, got it home wiring was loose crunk right up, Have 7,569 Miles on it. Any side markers you'd recommend? Or sites? Anything at all I take any and all advice and opinions I can get. And if you know any good ways to get oxidation off and keep it off, it's just light oxidation, I think I saw somewhere about a type of acid you can put on the bike and wheels and then polish them, But I am not sure. And thanks for all the help I really appreciate it, this is my first bike, I'll see if I can't get some pics of it up.
  15. I have more qwuestions as I keep thinking, Whats the difference between a Cafe and Bobber? What does it take to make it one or the other? Will mikes XS Cafe seats work on my XS400? How about the the new pet cocks?
