So I'm new to the forum and to having an XS but not new to bikes, or modifying them. Picked up a 78 yesterday off of offerup for $100. Hasn't run in years, bad charging system. Odo shows 17k miles and engine turns free and has good compression, will pull out my tester and get exact numbers on that.
Plans are to turn it into a street tracker/frankenbike. I already have 2 fzr400 3tj swingarms from my last bike, so monoshock is in the plans. Front end might go with a brace or I might swap to a newer front end. I definitely want spoked wheels.
