Hello! I recently got an '83 xs400 maxim and am refurbishing it since it has that classic west coast damage of rust and salt stains. I was wondering about the edge of the fuel tank, if the bike originally came with a sort of trim? Where the top and bottom part of the fuel tank is welded together, it's become rusty and the paint is flaking, so I was planning on sanding it down, painting the whole thing, and adding some trim, probably rubber black. Any suggestions?
