Xs400 1983 project

[Paulsen14]

Hi guys, I have a Yamaha xs400 from 1983 and I need to replace the front forks with the front end.
I was wondering if I could fit a Yamaha mt03 front end and forks into my XS400.

Thanks very much

I already look it up on that forum and didn't see anything if there is any mechanic in this forum I could use your help.

Thanks

I wish I could help, but I possess no knowledge of either the XS400 or MT03. Best wishes.

Get out your yardstick and start measuring?
Sorry but that's the swapper's life.

Yup, you'll need to be the pioneer. I once put a ZX-9R front end on a ZXR750. The 750 had RWU forks, the 900 was USD.

Bit of head scratching, retained the 750 head stem, made a drawing for upper and lower yokes to fit the head stem and the thicker 750 forks, took it to a m/c engineer who made the yokes from billet, drilled them for clamp screws and screws to hold the instruments. So it wasn't that big a deal in the end. Hope this helps.
