XS400 Addict
I thought I already posted my thread but I cant seem to find it so one more intro, I just bought. Well its a 1980 XS400 Special, I bought it for 575 in Wisconsin, yesterday and drove it home 120 miles. It ran the entire way no problesm that I could notice other than a slight exhaust leak fromthe right pipe, and the left pipe flew off while driving I didn't know but my wife told me when we stopped for food. So now its just really loud. Heres a picture.
Well I've read through a few threads on the site and you are exactly the people I need to talk to. I want to convert to cafe but rather slow as I will be riding to school once I get the new pipe put on, and the maintenance checks that I found on the site as well. So I would really like some advice on wear to start on the build, that wont put her out of commission for more than a few days. Any advice will help thanks all. BTW I've removed the back seat rest and saddlebags, as well as the fishing pole holders on the back seat brace. I'll take another pic soon.
