Okay, when we last left our intrepid hero, he had restored his 1983 DOHC XS400 to reasonably good shape. She ran, she was mostly purple, and she was ready for a new rider.
And then she didn't sell. Which is mostly the fault of our intrepid hero, who is not a good salesman.
And the winter was cold (as it is in Canada.) And our intrepid hero got his wife pregnant again. Which got him thinking about what he would want to do to the motorcycle before his second progeny entered the world.
So the bike went from this:

The project is simple. Take a motorcycle from the early 80s (a period which produced NO good looking Japanese cruisers), and make it look good.
That's it.
Don't worry, i have everything under control! (That statement is so useful!)
Budget for the build is very low, so let's see what happens.
