looks like a good deal for a running 1100

    Umm there's a problem with the seat: some black stuff is showing through the shiny silver seat covers.;)

    If I was much closer I'd be all over it, regardless of what the war department would have to say about it

    That's a good looking bike! I like the color and stripe on the tank. I dunno about 10x better, but the 1100 mill with hot cams and pods... Yikes that thing, properly tuned, must be a force to be reckoned with!

    That $300 bike in the first post is a good deal. Too far for me. It's a 1981 XS1100SH. It looks like the good stuff is there, especially the exhaust. (maybe) It might be a good restoration candidate, and if not, there are a lot of good parts there.

    As far as bike #2 goes, I'd have to really want it to pay that much and I don't. The Kerker, however, is getting rare as hens' teeth. I'm sure my stock XS1100SG is faster than is Harley.

    Yamaha didn't really leave much, if anything on the table with these bikes. I'd be surprised if he's gained any significant HP. Pods don't work that well with the stock carburetors. The first think I'd do is put the stock airbox back on.

    Me likey. Pretty tempting now that I'm finishing up fixing the xj650. Distance wise it's doable too.

    There's plenty of help to get the job done. I like it.

    It appears you have an XS1100SF (my favorite) and an XS1100LG. Nice catch!
