Just posting to introduce myself and show you all a picture of my new bike. I just bought a 1977 XS360. It looks to be all original and from what I can tell is in pretty good shape. The previous owner just put a new battery in it and it fires right up with the electric start or with just one kick. The bike has 18k on the odometer and has a 1L9 VIN on frame and engine. If you guys can tell me anything about it with that VIN code, I'd appreciate it.
My current plans are to tear it down this winter and clean everything up. I will rebuild the carb and replace any rotted seals/bushings. My first thought was to turn it into a cafe racer but with how original it is, I might just change the bars and call it a day.
Here's the picture I took when I first saw it. Let me know your thoughts.
