Posted January 7, 201114 yr 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.

Good question! I was wondering about the XS650 ones also. NOS prices for a replacement are usually pretty high.
January 7, 201114 yr Moderator show us the link, if you don't mind non orginality, you can fit fz600 disks and 4 pot calipers with a bespoke caliper mount. I've also rebuilt mine with stainless pistons and a caliper seal kit! worls out a lot cheaper
January 7, 201114 yr Author 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?

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?
