I'm going to hack my wifes XS400 this winter, and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the top tubes under the seat are.

I know they're 7/8" tubing, but does anyone know what the wall thickness is? I could just order .120 wall tubing, and it should work, but there's a couple spots that I'm going to have slugs in, and would rather use the same tubing as the stock frame.

Thanks In Advance.

You will find its some pretty low quality 2.6mm wall seam welded tube. General engineering tube will do as a replacement.There are several schools of thought, but I wouldn't go adding tube that is much stronger as you could cause problems elsewhere on the frame. My advice would be cut it and check before you go machining slugs.
