Need XsModel Help, Pics included!

Hi guys,

This site is a life saver in my quest to restore my 78' XS400. Im trying to start with the basics but I can't seem to Identify the model. The first three letters in my VIN are: 2L0, So I know its a 78' XS400 but is it an XS400F2 or something else? I really need help on this because I have a strong suspicion that the seat on it ( has a cheap cover on it) is not from the original bike and I will need something different.

Take a Look and help me out =)

Thanks again

The 78E and the 79F both had the 2L0 code. If the date on the neck tag says 77 then its a 78 if it says 78 then its a 79.

I'm hoping the neck tag isn't that sticker near the fork but on the frame... Because its smudged but It says 79'..
