ONLY Made?!?!?!?! That's a heck of a line-up. G

Drewpy Did you get the XS360 manual PLUS the Supplementary for XS400D - or does the XS360 / XS400 manual have enough info? I think the supplementary is only 24 pages or so - so I wasn't sure how much more info I'd get. Thanks G

Sorry - original post in wrong forum. What kind of set up do you guys use for washing / cleaning parts? I've seen a few on Ebay with the pumps - but not sure of the quaility and if I really need another piece of equipment if a plastic dish sink pan and stiff brush would suffice. Also - what type of solvents do you prefer? Thanks for the input. G

Anyone know a good source for air filters for a 77 XS400 in the US? Thanks G

Drewpy - How did the Solvol work for you? And did you find the exhaust you were looking for? Hope all is well G

The XS400D I picked up last weekend is missing the airfilter boxes and the boots to link them to the carbs. I have Mikuni BS34's on there and wanted to know if I can just add the "POD" filters that I see for sale everywhere - and if so, do I still need to find a set of boots to link them to the carbs and can I still get the side panels on. Also - Are the Mikuni BS34's - the same BS34's that I see used on much newer bikes? I find it odd that they are on the 77 xs400 - and same BS34's seem to be on the 80-84 XS650's. Can I swap them out for a set of BS38's which were used on the 76 - 79 XS650's? I am sooo stoked to get this bike up and back on the road again. What I promised my wife would be a little bike to take apart and learn the inner workings of motorcycles is going to be a restoration - I can just feel it! Thanks for all the help G

Thanks Drewpy! Was hoping I might hear from you. Great rennovation by the way!!!!! Forgive my lack of knowledge, but where are the lower front barrels specifically? Not sure if you are planning on watch the Super Bowl, but in case you are, have a great time! GO COLTS!!!!! Thanks G

Recently bought a project bike without papers on Ebay and got it home last night. It's mainly a bike to tinker on and learn more in-depth repairs so I don't jepordize my daily ride ( 77 XS650D ). Anyway, the owner had no real details other that in being a 77 400. There are no side panels and the ID #'s state it was manufactured in 1/77 and other than that it gives no size or model #. I believe it's an XS400D - but figured you guys can help me verify. The VIN # starts with 2A2 - which I've seen ID'd on some European pages as a 78 - but might be different seeing as this is an American bike. Click the link ( I hope ) to see a pic - just looking to verify the year, model and size. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bowens405/de...jpg&.src=ph Thanks for this forum and I look forward to hearing from you all.
