Get on ebay for LED globe replacement....

I put these in my 250 tail ....

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190328467200 ... 1436.l2649

These in my front "park" lights

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170718449928 ... 1436.l2649

These in the gauges .....

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251093537819 ... 1436.l2649

Just find a UK ebay seller......I would say the 400 has the same fittings.

Just pull out the old globes and check.....

How long are you thinking of keeping the bike for ... maybe until you can afford something like an R6 ?

To be honest it's an 1989 bike and the money youre looking to spend on cosmetics would be better spent on the mechanicals, brake pads, blue spot calipers, braided lines, disks maybe. Get suspension sorted, rebuild the forks with new springs or change the front end for a Thundercat / FZR600R foxeye (they bolt in) and a R6 shock. Fit some new tyres.
Mods like these will make the bike better
Use FZR1000 exup lamps (fit switch relays if you use higher power bulbs)
The best grips are Rethnal dual compound supebike type, make shure you get superbike grips not the MX ones. The dual compound stops some vibration.

That bit behind the seat;
3EN-24796-50-GE SILKY PEARL WHITE.
3EN-24796-50-NA BLACK
is still available from any Yamaha dealer @ circa £45+ VAT.
It is just about the only way to get one,I have searched 5 months and yet to see a used one advertised.
Why they disappear is beyond my reasoning;they are not crash susceptable.

Footpegs that fit==

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-ALLOY-SPO ... 2ebe8a1194

Remove the pivot pin and replace original spring on the new peg then re-fix with a cap screw.
They are nothing like as comfortable as the std. ones.

Are you wanting to replace the complete tail light assy.?
Please post up pics of blue engine once painted.

The fairing is the same as the FZR600 3HE (the tail sections different though)

Stick to the clipons, with bars you'll need throttle cables, clutch cable, brake lines and maybe extend the wiring. Then you'll need a pair of mirrors. You'll spend a lot of money ... around 200 the value will go down and it will look wrong.

Discontinued part, they come up on ebay sometimes. You could try a 600 3HE but I can't swear to them being the same, (same carb and similar inlets though).
Have a look at the airbox rubbers and if they're hard replace them
