Hello all! I signed up to this site a few months back but never introduced myself. My names Dave-I live in Eau Claire, WI. I bought y '79 XS400 with 13,000 miles for $20 from a friend about six years ago. It had sat for years in his garage and it just moved to my garage and sat for another few years. Long story short, its finally running. With the exception of rebuilding the carbs, I've done everything myself so I'm a little proud and it's (almost) how I wanted it to look. Just put new carb boots on yesterday and the warmed-up idle is sooooooo much lower now. In a box in the garage waiting to be put on are new chain, sprockets, brake shoes, headlight, turn signals and mufflers. I've been buying all these when I've seen them cheap the last few months-mufflers were $56for both sides brand new (might have to bend the header a little I think) Anyway, thats all for now Jr is asking for some PBnJ for lunch-take care!
