It is a 79xs400 and from what I can tell from looking in my Haynes manual, it should work on the cases that I have. It just has a plate where the motor mounts up. I will post pics tonight.

Yeah... they don't have a xs400 forum and since they are fairly simular to the 650's you guy get to hear about all my problems and ideas... Now doesn't that sound like fun!

Might be an idea batman, if you put it in your profile, or signature that you have a 400 & not a 650.........!

I can name 250 differences between a 400 and 650.
