Traded my XJ for...

I came across a deal that I could not refuse. I found an ad that someone wanted to trade two XS1100 for a running street bike. Called the guy and he was interested in the 82 XJ750. So I loaded it up and drove the 40 or so miles to check it out. He had a 78 XS1100 Standard and 80 XS1100 Midnight Special. Nither one was in very good shape. My wifes oppinion was that the two piles of rust needed to be in the bone yard. All I saw was visions of the finished product. So I pulled the triger on the deal. My wife was not happy to say the least (I took her to the Jazz/Nuggets game Friday that seem to help. It didn't hurt the the Jazz won) So Now I have two more bikes in the stable and let one go.

the 78 XS1100 Standard

The 80 XS1100 Midnight Special


Extra bits that came with it





Some one tried to fix up the 78 the 80 has been sitting for about 15 years. I'll post progress of fixing them uo in the Projects section.

 

i know you'll be able to gt at least one bike out of those.. so i think it's a good deal.

there was a guy here who had a similar deal.. he had 4 count them 4! GT750 water buffalos for 2000 dollars.... one more if only..

 

Did you see the same ad on craigslist that I did schooter? lol i could swear i saw that one

 

probably... since we look at the same one

 

tcoop, that stang's air scoop feature in your third picture looks just like the one on my old 65 2+2. Is it a 65 or 66?
