    A new bike for the time being, 1981 XS400

    I have been working away at my 1984 XS400 DOHC but wanted to take my time and not have to rush the work in order to get it properly running for the summer, I happened to find a 1981 XS400 Special in the GTA for $500, couldn't go wrong (that's false, but thankfully it didn't).

    Finally got going on my bike in the basement, set up my GoPro as well to get a bit of a timelapse going. Couldn't be happier to have a warm place to work on this.

    Finally finished up welding my grab bar at school the other day, all went well thankfully, it was nice to get back into a bit of TIG welding, some photos of the set up where I welded it! Planning on getting it into my unfinished basement soon enough so I have a spot to work on it all winter.
