February 27, 200816 yr Moderator howdy folks ! well i have one to collect in a few weeks as i quite liked the idea of smaller twin . but i can't recall them being available in the uk ? does anyone else have one in blighty there's someone in Leigh, lancs that has one and i met him last year at Lotherton Hall bike show. I'd have to see my friend who had some pipes made for him as i'm sure it was the same guy!
February 27, 200816 yr Author thanks drewpy ! it's nice to know there's another similarly afflicted owner in blighty . maybe there will be two at lotherton hall this year

March 21, 200816 yr Moderator and i might actually get my arse into gear and get the 360 collected !! yes you'd better
June 22, 200816 yr Author woo hoooooo thank you kindly sir ! i'm well happy as it is in time warp condition with the original bridgestone tyres , and on closer inspection the original tool kit ! obviously i expected a few jobs would be needed , it goes with the territory ... 1. two new tyres might not be a bad idea ? 2. it starts by shorting out the starter as the button has been lost , but i have a spare one . 3. the fuel tap leaks but there's a new one on the way . 4. the chain is too tight so i might replace it . 5. sadly the left side silencer is on the way out maybe this might be the best fix for now , presuming it will fit ?? exhaust

June 23, 200816 yr Author need to get SITO's there s an importer based in scotland or there is some on ebay £150 pair i'd considered the ones on ebay , and compared the price of sito's at klasmo.de , and alternately thought about two universal aftermarket megaphones .... only as i'll be in the states in september , and the price for the 2:1 was in dollars , i figure the full set would be cheaper than two silencers ?? maybe a two way bet might not be a bad idea .... take off the original system and keep a look out for an original left silencer , meanwhile pick up the mac 2:1 in september ? but the same question must be asked , will it fit ?

I got the '78 dealer update from 360 to 400 and all was mentioned different was the cc's and chamfered casing, lever gaiters. no mention of silencers so i assume they would fit. you won't find any left silencers, i looked for years and managed to get the only one in the country/world.

June 25, 200816 yr Moderator thank you kindly sir , so how much were the sito's from bonnnie scotland ? about 3 haggis and 4 Sporron's...... I think they worked out the same price as ebay and the same supplier. I asked a similar question on the classic bike forum and the suppliers post on there. go onto classicbike.co.uk and do a search for xs400 and you'l see drewpy everywhere and a thread on exhausts.
July 1, 200816 yr Moderator had a look but couldn't find the link to your endeavours sir ?? http://www.classicbikeforum.com/view_topic...highlight=xs400
