XS400 From Minnesota

[m3ch]

Hey how are you guys, as you can see from the title, i am from Minnesota, just bought a 1978 XS400 last night for 250 bucks, was sold to me as a "good running bike" but the ignition was gone, asked a question in another thread and got my answer so i will probably wire up a regular Dorman starter switch, i might relocate it someplace else.
also how would i go about redoing the seat? Also this is going to be a really slow build thread but im going to keep it mostly stock and polish it up make it look decent and now on to the pictures!

im from farther north, the Bemidji area, and yes i actually did luck out on this one because the person originally posted it on a site about a year ago so i sent a message on the off chance she still had it and sure enough she did so i bought it
