Yamaha XS description

I'm selling my '78 XS400 tracker. I've put a ton of work, custom and new parts into the bike. Here's a list although I'm sure I'll forget some things:

-Modified frame, shaved of all un-needed tabs, with XS650 rear loop added
-XS650 front end and wheel, lowered, new seals and fluids 
-Sportster tank with custom mounts and petcock bung
-Custom seat
-Vintage cocktail shaker mufflers, and Unity Headlight
-Custom battery box, splash plate, rear fender, cut down stock front fender
-New, minimal wiring
-New: battery, dual sport tires, bars, mirror, grips, cables, taillight, headlight bulb (very bright spotlight), shocks, UNI air filters, stainless brake lines, lug wires, Magura front master cylinder
-Rebuilt rear caliper, good used front caliper
-Custom headlight shroud
-Points adjusted
-Carbs ultrasonicly cleaned and jetted for the pods and the pipes

The bike only has 3600 original miles (I have the original speedo). It runs great, stops quickly, and handles like its on rails. The bike is super fast for a 400, and is a 6 speed too! The charging system is working properly as well. The paint and upholstery aren't perfect, I did them myself. I have a clean title from the previous owner. 



 I'm located up in Kingston but can deliver to the city or anywhere within 100 miles for $1 a loaded mile. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I can drop it off at a shipper, or meet them locally. $500 deposit on PayPal required within 48 hours of the auctions close, the rest due in cash upon pickup, unless other agreements are made.

2014 AMA Supercross – Arlington Results

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

James Stewart‘s hot streak continues with his second-consecutive win and fourth AMA Supercross podium in five weeks after an impressive effort at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Fresh off of signing a contract extension with Yoshimura Suzuki, Stewart took control of the Arlington main event on the third lap, passing holeshot-taker Ryan Dungey and running away with the win. With his win last week at San Diego, Stewart becomes the first rider to win back-to-back races this season and establishes himself as a championship contender as we approach the mid-way point of the 2014 season.
