New/old member with a 77 XS-400

Hey cool to see a site just for the 400's..
I've been hovering on the fringes of the 650 world for years and this is great..


This is my 77 XS-400D as I got it in 2008 for $250

It had been sitting in a garage since 1983..
It took a bit of work to sort out the electrical, brakes, an carbs but it's been a great first bike.

I've kept it stock except for a set cover I made from an old pair of leather riding pants.

Welcome man! Nice ingenuity with the leather pants! But, now what do you wear to ride in? haha

nice to see the stock bikes. I should start a thread just for people that are restoring them.

Welcome! I really like your '77. Hope you keep it stock. I like their looks even better than my '80.

restored my 400 in 2007
