  1. dip it in OG's tea, that'll strip anything!! failing that, If its just for repainting, just rub down the good paint and spray over it as this is an ideal key for the new paint. If you want them powder coating, i suggest you let the powder coaters take the paint off.

  4. there wasn't supposed to racing just "a parade" why dont you have a go next year? its only a £5 for 2 x 15 min sessions in your class ( you can enter the under 200cc class and modern class so that 4 x 15 mins for the £5) I got a luvverly red tan didn't expect that much sun!! I went via holfirth first and then back over snake on way home!!
  5. moi!! the xs400.de site has a map which shows the location of members ( in germany of course) which could be usefull if your in a particular area, wonder if it could be done here?
  6. how did you lot get in the pictures? its a 15 rated looks like you had a good time, reminds me of me youth when that car park were fields!!!
  7. did you put in new bearings, and are they the right colour for clearance? are the gears in correctly as they can bind the case and thus the crank

  12. not sure bt i know that you can fit forks from a 550 if you want twin disks up front discussed before here
  13. if it is a dohc carbs, they can be modified but its a lot of work to get it right. the dohc carbs are too narrow and a new mounts need to be fabricated as well as the carb linkage. the carbs also have their throttle cable on the right side as opposed to the middle on the sohc bike! drewps
  14. I am riding my bike with it done that way, is that not proof enough!!!
  15. the speedo drive goes on the left hand wheel( as sat on the bike! ) there's not a lot really to go wrong with them as they are mechanically simple utilising a worm drive driven off a "special 2 teeth washer" . this engages with the gear drive, which in turn mates with the worm drive. schematic recheck the spacers and washers are in the right order and that the drive engages in the lower fork properly. drewps
  16. ebay is your best bet and use the brit style stuff!!
  17. fantistic, Bombay Wars ROCK!!!

    Nutz & Boltz

    stainless get them from a2a4 fixings. just get a cheapo caliper and measure your old stuff and order new. I have also tried custom fasteners they tend to come polished with no writing on the bolts
  19. got a video?, especially in punjab

    EXHAUST

    something like THIS would do it
  21. if it uses the sohc engine, I'm almost certain that they all interchangeable. why not put the onus back on the vendor and ask him the question, that way if it don't fit, you have comeback!!
  22. seal kits are easliy available and so are the brake pistons ( i got mine done in stainless steel)
  23. took my xs400 over to 10k today, it red lines at 9k whoops!!!
