Hi Everyone,
I stumbled upon this forum while was researching Yamaha XS400's online an finally got my hands on one. It was quit a steal for the price and hopefully will turn into a great project.
Overall condition of the bike is "ok" since I will be transforming it into a cafe style so most factory wiring and cosmetics will have to go and In with the new. Their is very minimum rust on the chrome and engine seems to be missing clutch cover and alternator cover.
I will start off by completing the engine missing parts and will see how it goes from their.
One issue is that I have bill of sale and I will have the Vin verified this week so i can go ahead and try to get a Vermont Registration.
Of course before buying the bike I tried running the vin and no records of it stolen or even registered in the DMV , any thoughts ? its does has a registration sticker from 1996 on the fork which is weird.
Anyways , that being said , hopefully it get registered with no issues.
Looking forward for your comments and support.
