i had the same wheels on my rd for a while. i machined some adapters to make them fit, danny has them now on his monospine bike (27cycles).
while the forks int he pic are from an fz, even with stock forks you would have to work them on the front to get them right. not too difficult but just be aware. Unless you can just swap the xs fork lowers straight over.
then its a bolt on.

Thank you Mark ,as it turns out it's a XS500 he has two must take both for $150 each  don't really need two more bikes to get a set of wheels.

It's not going to be a straight bolt-on. The 360 uses the same axles as the RD400F (15mm front, 17mm rear), which are different from the RD400C/D/E (although the 76-78 is also 17mm rear).
Front disc is a 1-piece rotor, same as the RD400F
Rear is a drum and rim width is 1.85

Thank you . I got an RD400 with Rd350 front forks and wheel ,have a chance to buy an XS whole bike for $150. think ill go for it . Has rear disk . 

Hi guys does anybody know if xs3600 wheels fit the RD400

dammit. If i ever find one i'll grab it. one fo the few i haven't had id like to own someday.

Is that a chevelle on the lift? what the hell hit the passenger side?  BTW, jealous of your lift and footage. that's a sweet building. Next move for me, for sure.

Yes grab one if you can , that is a 69 lemans that i'm turning into a Pro Touring GTO and here is the office almost there .

sweet.

is that a black 125 stinger i see in there? 

Yes sir I have 4 69,70 and 2 71's I love them 

My garage ceiling is about 20 feet high, and Ive been planning on building a mezzanine so that I can use the wasted space up there. Sometime soon I will actually get around to it.

  That's what I'm doing first phase 20X40 is up got sixty bikes off the floor

It's a great time to ride a two stroke was out yesterday not a single complaint   

That TS looks great and the XSR is not bad  But the Gr :metal:oom

I have no doubt Garrett will be on the list. He's just starting to arrive at being able to.
Takes years and he has a great start. Hopefully he's able to get some packages together and find a place to run on the dyno.

Who is Garret

This info is hard to come by...
We don't have many engine builders here on the new site.

John Ritter is a member here, formerly of Proflo way back in the day, but is mostly retired and doesn't share much public info. I wish he would as he's really smart and VERY longtime RD engine builder who I admired growing up in the industry like Gary S.
Lyn Garland is a very knowledgeable with TZ and RD's  and is a member here and does share and help a lot, but keeps HP #'s to himself.
Scott Clough...haven't ever seen him here.
Ron Black from RB design's, is retired now, never seen him here.
Gary Shumake from Spec 2 is too busy making pipes for us to come here and his website is 30 years old. never see him here.
Roger has some experience with RD's from Wicked Motorsports, but is a Banshee guy. only posted on the old site a few times.
Tony Doukas from TDR also has some experience with RD's, but is a Banshee guy also. But does try and help when you contact him.
Nick Pastore from Vintage Smoke is just mostly selling parts and some simple machine work.
and lastly
Tom Turner the dragbike legend with his TSR DOS software. But is way long gone many, many years. like '06.

I'll try and keep updating my Dyno postings here...
