Hello again XS400 forum!
Just picked up a 1982 XS400J Maxim in good shape.
Still missing the right side battery cover/panel (see my other post), but otherwise in good shape. My only concern is a previous owner did a terrible job lining the tank. Using MEK and acetone and it's coming out slowly, but finding more rust and messy paint than I would like. I'll get this tank cleaned up, lined, and painted, but it wouldn't hurt to have a spare or one that's in better shape from the get go. Anyone have a tank they could part with?
I think any DOHC '82-'84 XS400* Maxim tank would fit (but not 100% on that), and maybe even a Seca tank of the same years (anyone try that?).
Cheers.
