81 xs 400, registration, and various cafe help
to the forum hebrew H I had no probs fitting my f;at tracker seat to the frame, but had to cut off the rear frame rails. why not try and fit a guilari seat. that will fit straight on and looks cafe style they are made to fit the sohc and dohc models guilari seat

82 XS400 master cyl rebuild tips needed
Aye, I think you will need different thickness shims too if its the dohc model. take your gaps first and see what you need.

poor service
I assume it was via ebay? start the complaint process and you'll soon get a response. worked twice for me especially as ebay give out their phone number as part of the process and you do phone them!!

Seem to be having issues with my battery.
you need to buy an optimate type charger, this will keep your battery in top condition. buying a glass mat battery (AKA gel) will pay off too drewps

1980 XS 400 Wheel & tire?
should be obvious, the xs400 speedo mirrors the casting on the opp side. the disk has a big hole in the middle to go over the speedo drive!!

Polishing the case covers
invest in a cheap bench grider and get a set of polishing mops. you can do mirror finishes in an hour or so. nice work though, now you have gorilla arms

79 xs400 camshaft oil seal
sounds knackered mate. you shouldn't be able to push it up at all. the run out limit is 0.1mm (0.004in) according to the yam service manual. new head and cam cover ( matched pair) is needed, unless you can line bore them and retro fit bearings.

1980 XS 400 Wheel & tire?
not sure i did a step by step, but it is very easy... yam wheel has a cover on opp side of hub and pry this off to reveal the machined holes for another disk. 1) fit another disk 2) you need a left hand early type lower fork part. they have a fitting for another caliper mount 3) use a caliper and mount from an SR500 . these are the same as xs400 right side, but it says left or "L" on it 4) buy 1 longer brake pipe and a double banjo fitting for the master cylinder 5) use master cylinder from an xs750, 850 or XS1100 twin disk bike. I would rebuild it with new seals 6) bleed system for 2 hours and there you have a twin disk set-up drewps

How F*%ink much?
doesn't really break, as bearings take the rotational wear. it would be cheaper to buy a whole bike
