I found it on ebay, these megaphones are very cheap, very short and very noisy, i don't call them silencer!!! To mod them as street legal i have done a little home made transformation : short pipe with drag pipe baffle on it. Here some pictures of this job : With this little modding you have a better size look megaphone, and the bike is near street legal ( a little less noisy)

My next project will be a real Basic Bobber, i would like to find an other XS400, perheps a XS Special for it... These little XS400 Yamaha are very good bike for many easy and cheap project and are very funny to drive too. Best regards, infrapista

Thank you very much friend, i have done my best and cheapest as possible. This bike cost me about 1000 euros, purchasing bike include : 300 euros for the bike on ebay.de + or - 700 euros on small parts (seat, color can, muffler, rear light, etc...) all found on ebay cheapest as possible all around the world : India, Australia, Uk, Germany, USA etc... It really was a game to find all parts at the best price (it take me about 6 month, and building bike about 10 days !!!) Regards from Belgium, infrapista

Yes these tyres are Metzeler PERFECT 77 300x18 front and 350X18 rear, i found it in Germany. I am very glad with this 125GT Suzuki Giuliari seat, i found that have the very good size for the bike. The real Yamaha XS Giuliari seat is very too large for the bike, i have seen a bike with it, none in my taste !!! To mount the Suzuki seat i have done some little cut at the rear frame.
