Shaping up to be a nice ride Drewpy! I like the seat/fairing - custom or off the shelf? I plan on modding my newly acquired 77 XS400 to a cafe style and that seat is along the style I'm thinking of... Thanks for sharing your mods!

I too just picked up a '77 XS400. Mine is in okay shape considering it's been sitting in a garage for 12 years (price was right = free!). I know I have some work to do, but she was running when she was parked, so it gives me a little hope. I'm also interested in anything noteworthy on this bike (recalls, electrical gremlins, etc.) If she doesn't have any major issues, I plan on modifying her to a cafe style, so if anyone has any hints, tips or tricks that may help with that direction, I'd be interested in those as well (I'll be searching the forum in the meantime...)
