Project Blue Basketcase - xs400 - Update 2

Steady as she goes....

I've mounted the rear fender along with the tail light and they feel really solid. I threw on a pair of omni pod filters(54mm fits perfect) so I'm hoping it wont need to be heavily rejetted. I'm not sure how they perform, but they're much cheaper than the K&N's I have on my other xs400 project. The rear tire is on order and should arrive next week. I ordered it through Bill Kasson's Yamaha, who will be mounting the tire as well. Bill really knows his Yamaha's and I mean ALL of them. Seriously, I know a lot myself and he taught me a thing or two. On top of that, Bill agreed to donate some goodies to the East Side Classic Rally I'm putting together for June.

I'm currently tracing and removing all unnecessary wiring which is turning out to be a bit of a headache. I'm sure it wouldn't have been this bad if I had been a little more selective about which basketcase case to get involved in. Sounds like most of my relationships...

The electrics are my current priority and hopefully wont be for much longer, as I HATE doing electrics. Although, there is something nice about having less clutter around the bike and having less to hide.

Progress...
