Ok, so the title for my 79 xs400 is MIA from my buddy who gave me the bike. I have a title 81' xs400 frame that is useless. Question: Can I title the 79' xs 400 under the 81' xs title?... since the frame will never be used. Im in South Carolina if that helps. thanks

7 Months later after obtaining a $50 1979 xs400 I finally completed it, (sort of) And took it for its first RIDE, TONIGHT! I figured id make a new post here, without all my retarded replies, and questions. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing getting into this, but this site, the...

Thank you I has also acquired a 81' xs400 and put the stator cover from it, along with the stator coil from it on my 79' s400. Would this cause an issue? After research, I saw where the 79' uses points, and the 81' uses CDI? Anyways, I went ahead and just put the original stator back on for...
