Hi, I'm jimy from Northern California

Im currently deployed overseas but coming home soon and I'll be coming home to a new to me 1978 xs650. Can't wait to see her, had a buddy look at her and he loved her so much he bought her for me and sent me the bill haha

Just thought I would say hi, I have gotten so much info from this forum already can't wait to meet people and learn more

Welcome, Dimitri, and congrats! Which 78 model did you get?

Xs650 regular not the custom

Excuse the nit picking, Dimitri, but "Custom" is Honda talk. If you mean your bike is a Standard model as opposed to a Special, you found a real prize; 78 and 79 were the last years for the Standard, and they're pretty rare.
