Hello all, I just picked up this XS1B. It's my first project bike. I have no mechanical experience beyond oil and brake pad changes, so I'm hoping to learn a lot. My goal is to restore it to something close to its original condition. It's in a bit rougher condition than I had hoped, but the engine turns. I'm working on pulling off the turn signals (since they are mostly dangling by wires) and then I figured I should do a detailed assessment of exactly what I got myself into. Any recommendation on where to start? The tank has a fair bit of rust, so I figured that would be a good thing to tackle first.
