Hello everyone!
My name is Adam, but I go by Shady. I am 20 years old and am currently a college student from Ohio. I've been lurking around this forum for awhile and just recently pulled the trigger and bought an '81 XS400. I picked up this bike with hopes of turning it into a cafe racer for a school project. I am not super knowledgable when it comes to working on bikes but I hope to learn as I go!
This is my first motorcycle I can officially call mine and I super excited to start working on this bike. I have a few weeks until this project is due, and I hope I can finish in time with all of the school work I have going on. I recently broke my foot so I hope it won't impair me too much during this process.
My plans are to get the bike running, rebuild the carbs (if it needs it), repaint the frame, create a custom made seat, among other things.
