78 XS400-2E
I am at a point where I am wanting/needing something different out of my bike. My wife wants to ride more and so a slightly bigger/more comfortable bike would be nice. However, I also have a lot into my XS400 and am considering modding it to suit my needs/wants.
So far, I have about 3k in my bike (paid waaaaaay too much for bike itself)
I really like this:
and this:
So slammed and minimalized pretty much.
And I think I could have a longer seat and a bolt on/off sissy bar for when the wife wants to ride
BUT
If I chop my perfectly good frame and start customizing my XS400, I'm guessing my value goes down, so then I'm out even more money.
My question is this:
Should I cut my losses and sell the bike for what I can and get a bike that is what we need
OR
chop on my bike and customize it since I already know what I have in it and know I will be losing money either way.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. I am just kind of on the fence on this decision.
Thanks!
