Presenting my XS400 '80 from Guatemala

Hi! I have been reading this very useful forum since the last year.

I helped me a lot, with a bunch of questions about my carburetor, technical data, and of course, the inspiration needed to go on in a interesting project with this lovely machines.

This is my actual ride. I bought it for $550.00 in a running condition, with some "small" details like a leaking carb, rough idle, front brake, floppy bars... in the last six months I have been working on those details, and there's a smell of proud in the air, when I see it running on the streets. I know there is some job to do, but I am very pleased with the results.

Great job. I really like the seat. Is that a factory unit or some kind of custon. I don't recall seeing any like it on this site.

Welcome to the forum!

welcome! Bike looks good

Thanks everyone!

Jdm_Forest: Yes the seat is the original I guess, but the former owner cut it down in the middle. There is some piece of metal welded in the middle, so it can be secured with a nut. I'm still waiting to take the other seat to put the upholstery, and some foam inside.

Posting some upgrades how it looks now:
