Got a free 1980 xs400 that's gonna need carbs and everything related to run. Decent front tire would be a nice perk but may find that locally.

Buy new tires!! Tires have date codes on them. You want them to be 7 yrs or less. Codes will have for numbers stamped on the sides wall. Such as, 3515 that means tire was mad 35th week of 2015. If tires have three numbers it was made in the 90's. These are very old tires and are no good also.

I plan on new tires before it ever hits the road. Which is not the near future. The front on it now is real bad and I have to move it around alot so I was thinking more of throwing something on temporarily to make pushing easier. My buddy had a spare candidate.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1978-78-Ya...FlatRateBox!14837!US!-1&LH_ItemCondition=3000 These are not my carbs. These are off a 80 xs400. The listing is wrong for the 78. I have no idea if these are good enough to rebuild but just to give you an idea of what you should look for.
