Sorry folk my apologies I am an old biker,1st bike was an old bsa 125 bantam,bought that for 5 pound sterling in 1966 from there on to machless/triumph/norton Rode out most of the roads in the UK used suzuki 650 for a while then gave up riding for years (when I got married)had to get a car!Now the kids are grownup and out decided to get back on the road. want to feel the wind in the hair again(before its all gone)So now i got this xs 400 and I want to restore it .Then I can hit some of these lovely South Africa roads and passes Hi bikers I hope someone can help me out.I have just bought a 400 xs special and I am going to restore it to factory original The engine and frame number is 2LO-072351 can I trace anything from this?I was told by the owner it was a 1980'ish and he wasnt to sure if it was a model II or not. Just hoping one of you boffs out there may be able to help out I need to know the correct model and year.
