ugh darn my whole bike is either black or copper. Itll look really weird with silver there... Ive talked to alot of people and its an equal fight. some say no problems and others say dont do it. I'll prolly go with no powder just to be safe but man i wish i could have it black

ive been wanting to get my engine powdercoated but I've heard that I shouldnt because it will run to hot. Have you had any problems? Opinions?

Thought I would share now about to send to powdercoat. Very excited. What do you guys think?

Try voltage drop testing. Your parts may be fine but the connections could be bad or there is a small current being drawed to were it shouldnt be. Voltage drop testing is much easier then looking at a wiring diagrahm and making a shot in the dark where something might be wrong.

I see where he said "email" but I'm not sure what to type in for the email. Do you know what his email is?

wow thats amazing he made all that himself. How much of a difference does it make (starting/running/etc.)? Do you still have to replace/clean up the points every so often? I may have to give this guy a call.

I found this electronic ignition kit but I'm kinda iffy about it but it does have our models and many of the xs650 models. What do you guys think? (to look at the models you have to click the price/buy button)

http://crc2onlinecatalog.com/Index_Main_Frame.htm I found some mini speedos and tachs. I am not sure if we can use these or not though. I have looked for ratios but havnt found anything.

Do you guys know if the axle, bolt, shims, spacers, and adjuster from the xs400 18" is the same as a 16" xs400 special? Can I just swap out wheels?

dang I was hoping I wouldnt have to but I guess its the best thing to do if I want the bobber look. Thanks for the help everyone! if anyone has a spare rear xs650 16" mag wheel give me a pm. thanks again

they are stock xs400 rims. I found a website that gives the stock size of the rims: http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/yamaha_xs_400_1979.php it says 18"/3" front and 18"/3.75" for the back. So would I be okay using those tires?

I just went to a flatout motorsports and asked them about tires. They said I could use a pirelli 180/55/R18 on the back and a 130/90/18 up front. Is this possible?

the only markings we found were from the tires and that was front: 18"/3.0" and back: 18"/3.5" I know I'm prolly making this alot harder than it actually is im just confused
