Hey all,
I've been lurking on this forum for quite a while now after my cousin told me he had a 1981(?) XS400 in his garage that he wanted to get rid of. So I picked it up today and I can't figure out what year this bike is. There is no date or year designation on the information label on the neck. I plan on turning this into a cafe racer, but would like to make sure that I purchased the correct parts. I know that he acquired an early model tank, but that is the extent of it's history.
Any help figuring out the model year would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
