Hey All,
I picked up an all original 1981 XS400 Special last month with 1,324 miles. I have intentions to commute to and from work on it and would like to give it a cafe look without going overboard. I don't own a welder, or know how to weld for that matter, so I will be doing what I can to make this bike look the way I want it to without too much custom fabrication.
I took a buddy of mine that has been into motorcycles his whole life to pick up the bike and he was pretty impressed with its condition. I am the third owner. Anyway - on to the pics.
I am very new to bikes so looking forward to reading up and learning a lot from you all. (I owned a dirt bike for about 9 months a couple years ago). Any words of advice will be appreciated. See you around the boards!
