    Hey everyone, I'm about the finish my dark knight build in the next couple of weeks hopefully. An opportunity has arisen to buy 2 more XJ1100 in pretty good shape. I'm wondering if the smaller XJ's are any easier/ cheaper to work on or I should keep on with the 1100 path and expand my herd. Thoughts ??

    stick w;)ith what you know best.
    would you really be happy with a smaller bike?

    costs would be the same except for your octopus fuel setup and more master cylinders to rebuild and the hoses that go with them

    I feel your pain, brother. Our dollar sucks. Worth it for the bike, but I usually have to put my wallet in the freezer to cool it down after talking to Len
