1981 xs400 Can I go batteryless?

[TazzTheJynx]

I've heard rumors that you can make some xs400s go batteryless? I'm just wanting to find more out about it, I understand no electric ignition. Which is fine. Any other draw backs? Like i'm assuming no heated gear, right? Any info is helpful, and what parts would be needed, if any?
