Well guys, IT'S ALIVE! I finally got her to fire up tonight! I only have $200 in her at this time, that's including purchasing the bike! I won a set of carbs off e-bay for a xs650 and modified them to fit on the xs400! She sounds awsome with just the strait headers! Now that I know she will run it's time to start stripping her!
I know it's spring time, my winter project is running into overtime!,,It's just a project that "I tinker with from time to time"(favorite quote from SlingBlade) I'm just going to take her down to the frame and start painting and slowly purchase parts peice by peice. I think i'm going the cafe' route with this project, I've considered the bobber but I think i'll end up putting too much $$$ into it, i'm going to keep the frame fairly stock but look for or build a cafe' rear body and seat and find a more streamlined tank and who knows what else, home made rearset pegs would be cool on this old bike

I don't regret having 4 bikes, other than I don't have a lot of room to work on them the way I would like to.

Long ride bikes...... my 03 Silverado, Lori's 05 Silverado,
Toy runs, bike nites, puttin round town..... my 71 Honda 450 chopper, Lori's 78 custom paint 78 FLH Shovelhead.

All run excellant.

Re:who here owns two bikes 8 Years, 9 Months ago  
Have my 05 Midnight Cdn and I still have my '90 GSX-R1127 Streetfighter. It's fun having two bikes with completely different personalities.

I enjoy the GSX-R but I'm seriously considering trading it for a big dual purpose/adventure bike. I live 1/2 hr from the Rocky Mountains and I think it would be fun to get "off road" on a big dually.
