Hey guys, I have been roaming around the site now for about a week since I bought my bike and I thought I would introduce myself. This is my first motorcycle but I think I am starting off with a good foundation. I picked the bike up from a guy down the road from me that never registered it, he said he bought it off of the original owner who was an older man and did not ride it any more. It is an 82 xs400 heritage special that is in remarkably good condition. It only has 4000 miles on it, the tires are almost new, both cylinders cold have 150psi, and I pulled the carbs and checked all through them and they almost appear new on the inside. The only thing I replaced on it were the carb holders that were starting to crack but were still air tight. I paid 700 bucks for it would I thought was a fair price considering the condition. The only thing I am considering replacing are the handlebars, they feel a little awkward to me and I think I would like to go a little lower and less back sweep. I would appreciate any thoughts, I am 5'10" with an average build. I am looking forward to be a part of this forum.
