DeBortole Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 hi all!, My name is Jesse, Im 23 years old and live in Seattle, Washington USA. I have a big project under way its a 1976 yamaha XS360C that im building into a custom cafe racer. It has: Raask adjustable clubman bars that i have cut and narrowed to make fit better pod filters custom exhaust with black graphite heat wrap replacement headlight headlight brackets custom steel cafe seat w/ custom upholstry maxxis tires drilled ft. rotor home made rear sets (soon to be replaced with ones im making at work) 17T ft. sprocket for more top end. & so much more.... check it out @ www.caferacermotorcycle.com I'm now looking into making this low milage engine work a little harder, i see that Newtronics makes a electronic ignition for it and raask makes rearsets but thats all the "performance"/aftermarket parts i can find. dose anyone know of anything else available or have any possable leads to companys that can mfg. parts for me. ~Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeBortole Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 I ordered a pair of mikuni VM34 carbs this weekend, now i plan on finding out from drewpy if the megacycle xs400 cam is interchangable also im looking into accel super coil ignition system and a dyna points ignition booster. after i ghet the parts im gonna port & polish the head and run a thinner head gasket to up compression... thats gonna be the extent of engine performance mods. ~Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBortole Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 oh yeah, im runnin crazy home made exhaust and pod filters thats it for engine mods and i put down 23HP 19ft. lbs of torque. on the dyno this weekend. (and thats with running it fairly lean) im shooting for 30-35HP with the engine mods. ~Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plain old dave Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The XS400 cam on the site referenced was for 79 and up. Was that a typo or will the cam work on earlier bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
