orange flashing lights!
doing 25 gives an indictor that they are looking to turn sometimes soon. experience dictates that i would keep back or flash them to let them know someone is behind! yes I know its a pain but that's what's needed to survive

xs400 flat tracker project
got me thoughts together regarding switches for the dipped lights and horn and have been playing around with brake banjo bolts and micro switches from Maplins. I figured that they can drive 2 solenoids under the seat for the amps. the banjo bolts can replace the lower lever clamps on the bars using a drill and cutting a new thread anyway here's the pikkies what I'm on about... I think i need to find a suitable rubber hood to go over the switch and around the 1st part of the bolt, any ideas where to get one?

XS400 con rod stamping #'s
the numbers are on the crank web and case housing numbers as per haynes manual. nothing on the con rod for you to worry about! those bolts are expensive and I had to send off to speed sport to get mine! I since got a set on ebay but I think that was a one off!!

XS 400 Exhaust Gasket
no particular way round, don't use grease, it'll smoke and burn and it stinks. should just pop in and quickly install them.
