  • Need parts for a 1980 Midnight Special

    Hi I am currently restoring my 1980 XS1100LG Midnight Special, it's currently on the road and only really needs cosmetics, looking for "Gold Chrome" carb diaphram covers, right side cover and of course a like new complete exaust system, I know someone out there bought one of these bikes new and immediately changed over to a 4-into one and left the original unit in thier attic or hanging from the rafters of the garage???

    Also looking for a good condition O.E.M. seat or do you know of anyone who recovers them???

    All items must be in very good to like new condition and of course reasonably priced

    Seat cover

    Several of us have used this place to obtain seat covers...
    They do VERY good work...

    Best of luck on the exhaust... there's a waiting list...
    lol


    Another possible option on the carb covers... I know my 84 FJ has the gold covers and they fit on the XS carbs... so might be something for you to check into...

      Thanks for the info

      I will definately order the seat cover, I know the other stuff is hard to find, I have owned Midnights for over ten tears and the parts I'm looking for are rare,

      Thanks again,

      Ron
