My XS. It's an '83 sj chassis, motor, electrics, and front suspension. The exhaust, wheels, tank, and fenders are from a '75 b, I think. The carbs are from a '77d.
Nice bike. Seat, low bars, aluminum rims, dual disks & overall low appearance make this bike remind me of a Moto Guzzi. Lose the painted taillight bracket, though.
