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.

There’s a lot of it about at this time of year, brought on, no doubt, by excessive exposure over the Festive Season to the temptations of eBay. Buying old nails with a view to restoration, that is. Wilfing away over the New Year, I spotted for sale a bike that, when new, I really fancied.
