Hey all, I'm very new to the site. I picked up a 1982 xs400 maxim for $200. Before I started tearing it apart, it ran and rode great! I'm hoping to eventually turn this bike into a bobber, but I'm a "novice" when it comes to mechanics. My number one priorities are to replace the front forks (they're slightly bent), replace the chain, update the fuse box to a modern one, and figuring out whether I want to leave the monoshock in or replace it with square tubing. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Pictures coming soon..
