Well, I picked up yet another XS today (now up to five! ) from TacomaJeepJeff (THANKS JEFF! ). A '78E this time, which solves my problem with 'converting' the titled SG frame I have to E/F specs. Jeff said it was running, but there's an issue with the shifting (will go into first/second, but no higher gears). Not too bad, showing it age like most of 'em.
So, what to do with the '80? I now have enough good parts to reassemble this one (can't quite go back to stock, but I've got enough to make it fully legal). Will need the carbs gone through, new paint and seatcover, and I'll have to come up with a headlight (had a Vetter fairing on it). So what say you? Should I:
Just finish parting it out?
Or put it back on road for another owner? With or without a fairing? (now have three fairings!!).
