Just bought a 81 XS400 H that only has 6500 Miles, ($800). I got it from an older guy "like me", that only had it since May. He bought it from a charity donation place, so I'm thinking some guy had it in his garage for many years and donated it. I had this exact same bike about 20 years ago.
The guy I bought it from dropped it and bent the handlebars/turn signal and Shift lever. Front end out of whack. Drove it about fifty miles home with the Handlebars pointed about 8 or 9 degrees right. And I hadn't ridden a bike in about seventeen years.
Seemed to run and stop OK, not concerned about the Hbars as I don't like pullbacks anyway. I don't like the King and queen seat, so I am changing that.
Like the old school look of the "Special II" model and plan on Making it look like a 70s bike with an angled tank and a lower seat height. Don't like the rectangular mirrors and taillight so I will go round with those.
Other than that, I will leave it stock.
It's nice......I'm looking forward to it.
