XS400 to cafe conversion
http://www.megacyclecams.com/catalog/page57.pdf http://www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/main1st.htm I've seen prog front springs on ebay, try "Wurth" mainly from germany, but I'm sure you can get them in USA. HVC cycle may have them high rpm on idle is too lean a mix and either compensate by richening the idle mix on the carbs or they need a good clean( pref ultra sonic) I'd try ebay for gaskets, partsnmore do them for $45 drewps

Need help, can't get forks apart
keep the forks and springs together and get your allen key( this fits a bolt underneath the bottom fork leg) and quickly turn the bolt. If you are lucky it will snap undo, if your unlucky it just turns the "inner bits". you can try and compress the forks by pushing the top tube against a wall and try turning again! Failing that, another way is to get a wooden dowel ( 20mm x 500mm I think) chamfer the end by about 5mm around. you then have to take out the fork spring and whack in the dowel which should engage in a cup lower inside the fork leg (the bolt is holding this in) grip the dowel and then undo the bolt (it will be very tight) hope that helps drewps

1977 XS360-D --Electric Start problem
the contacts do earth out as that is what they are supposed to do, but this is via the coils to complete a circuit and then release it to discharge the primary coil. I'mm assuming that the bike runs ok? The other issue I could suggest is the switch gear is faulty and needs stripping and cleaning/checking. the starter button contacts and engine stop are common and it could be there. did this fault just manifest itself or did you do something to cause it?
