I really like how clean everything looks! Subtle style.. not overtly brash (which isn't bad, just what a lot of people are doing)

(cont) any tips you have would be appreciated. Thanks! Right Side by Backroads posted Apr 19, 2017 at 2:24 PM Rear by Backroads posted Apr 19, 2017 at 2:24 PM Left Side by Backroads posted Apr 19, 2017 at 2:24 PM Right Side by Backroads posted Apr 19, 2017 at 2:24 PM

Hey everyone, new member here. I just recently picked up a 1978 Yamaha XS400(f?) for a steal with a clean title and Haynes manual included, and found your site. After trolling through threads for a couple days I figured I should post my own. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and want to do as...

I have it on the center stand now. You can see my handlebar / gauge cluster situation from here too.

Everybody likes a nice rear end.

The last owner ordered a new headlight shell because the original was broken, I just haven't rewired the light and reattached. You can also see - no brakes or clutch hooked up.

You can see the carbs are out, no battery compartment covers, seat and tank are not bolted on right now.

My bike!
