Hi everybody, looks like a great forum you've got here! So I am acquiring a 82 XS400 Special II for dirt cheap($100), but know nothing about them. Typically I don't go at all for the 'special' cruiser type of bikes. But... it seems I may be able to transform this thing into a bike I can get excited about. First question is: does the special like mine have the same frame/swingarm/forks as a standard XS400? I see many XS400 converted to cafes or trackers and they look great. I'm hoping that the special just has the slanted tank and smaller rear wheel to give it the cruiser look and the frame is really the same...please be true haha.
Anyhow, I am not new to Yamaha's...of the 2 stroke variety anyway. I spent the last 2 years building my little RD. Ill try and post up a pic! Thanks!
