I made my own using B&Q alloy channel. Bashed over and dremeled open the slit so could slide in ground down stainless flange button socket screws. They look the business and cost £4 each side and the alloy doesn't rot and its easy to shape the ends to the correct profile!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! as i have a 4 stroke xs400. the strips are similar to the xs though. I have added a few pics of what i did, and i could scan the ends for you if you like an PM you? have you tried PGM yamaha? this is the back of the strip although I have flattened them a bit more later these are a comparison with an original got the screws from here. Just ground down the head flat to the washer and use as template to judge the gap of the strip http://www.a2a4.co.uk/acatalog/FLANGE_BUTT...SCREWS_A_2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
