drewpy

still look fine to me

guys check out the sticky in the classic section for all your xs400 needs drewps

yea, but what's it like against battered Fish?

seen them on ebay all the time about £60 universal silencers, they are reverse cone megs, if you want more sound go for the open megs drewps

they look fine to me!!

you can strip and clean the horn contacts, there was a piece written in last years CMM drewps

recent restoration of the ubiquitous XS400 as built for little jimmy aged 2

also check fuel supply and vent for the tank!

I use them in mine and get 3 years out of them!!

exactly, you are the foamy version

just don't put a bid on anything on ebay!!

I liked the taliban version.... hey mr taliban, turn over binlaaaden cruise missiles knocking on your door...

check this baby out also here http://www.rattlers.co.nz/page2.html

no spacer at the speedo side, there is a small collar and cover on t'other side though. if its there you have bent forks drewps

I would say the stem seals are leaky as they will have dried in storage. its a head off job and valve spring compressor with top end gasket kit!! decoke the engine whilst your in there ad lap in the valves. the compression is 156psi with 14 psi difference between the 2 cyls

what's that? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!

might have 2 more in tow, one a 125 owner!! and the other is cb750 mike from the NW200 escapade drweps

well done foams! getting there!! you'll soon be like tom cruise in topgun riding your Jawa with your Fairchild F-24 Argus in the background!!

what happens saturday and sunday?

PJ1 black satin is the way to go, no primer required. I never seen a better paint to resist fuel and heat. I cried when the main factory was burned down ( well not quite!) as they stopped making My yamaha silver for the xs cases. they only make black now!! The stuff yambits sells is crap, it runs and you have to bake it forever to get the petrol resistance ( and it still pools silver if you spill on it) drewps

love the styling and its great to see what people do to these versatile bikes. bobbers, chops, caferacers, trackers, seen most of these but yours is "one of a kind" well done!

you can get remanufactured fuse boxes on UK ebay. apart from 30 year old wiring issues, there no massive problems just need to ensure you have a good battery for charging. drewps

good one, i'll copy and paste the info into the sticky for xs400's drewps

i use 20w fork oil for 200 lbs bloke
