BrewTrooper Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Drewpy, Awesome job! I have an XS400/H and that I'm in the process of restoring. I had a couple of questions... Did you paint the engine to get it looking that new? Did you totally strip this down to restore it? I'm assuming you did to get it looking that nice. What parts did you have to replace that you couldn't restore? Thanks, BrewTrooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you paint the engine to get it looking that new? Did you totally strip this down to restore it? I'm assuming you did to get it looking that nice. What parts did you have to replace that you couldn't restore? Thanks, BrewTrooper I totally stripped the engine and frame. Used PJ1 yamaha silver paint on the engine cases, which were stripped to bare metal, then baked in the oven for an hour after painting. I replaced all bearings and seals and a few electrical items, the tank i got new from ebay and had it laquerd. the frame was powder coated and all the chrome items were redone using parts from ebay as chrome and english winters don't mix. the wheels were painted with PJ1 satin black as were the switchgear and other black items. It took 2 years to do but i did most of it myself buying tools as i went along. If you have any specific things you want to know just PM me and I'll be glad to help. I took pictures as i did the restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhendryx Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi, Just finished restoring my xs, and thought I'd share it with you. Mods have included twin disk with xs1100 master cyl and drilled disks all round. Just been out to Rivington today on it and it ran beautifully, can't wait till Stafford Drewpy, i have a question about your front brake calipers. are they faced towards the back of the bike originally, or was that a decision you made when you changed it over to dual front discs? Does it lessen the fatigue on the mounts - with them facing backwards, they push against the fork instead of pulling away when braking? just curious.
