    xs400 kick start only

    Hello everybody! New to the forum here. I heard introductions are essential so here you go. Just bought my first street bike (never thought i'd have one before buying more dirt bikes) and its a 1980 xs400. I've stripped it down to a frame and motor essentially and am waiting on parts to show up...
