What paint have all of you had the best results with on the engine? I'm looking for a simple, OEM looking silver.

Started in on the engine a bit today. Pleasantly surprised to find everything much less of a shitshow than I expected, given the miles and the amount of grime that was on it when I got started.

These arrived today in time for this weekend's engine teardown.

Righto, I gotcha. I'm fully aware the "measure twice, cut once" credo is in my best interest here.

I don't feel much like getting into the semantics, suffice to say that I certainly understand the merit of what you're saying on principle and I'll be sure to keep it in mind.

Indeed, thought about that. I think I'm just going to put the rear most support in the same location the stock support was before we cut it out and narrowed the frame. Between that and the fact that I'll be using longer rear suspension than stock, I think clearance issues should be pretty well...

Hey all, just getting started on the XS400 I picked up for a song. I'll save you all an excess of words and skip right to the photographic progress. Beginnings: Torn down: Picked up these new forks for an absurd price given the condition and a recent rebuild: Got the frame hoop welded up...

I'll get for you asap. You'll be selling these for the near foreseeable future, yes?

Hey, wondering if these could work on a Yamaha XS400? I'm very interested.
