That's a nice one! Wasn't someone here looking for a bike in NJ lately? This one looks complete, and all stock. Kinda sad that the current owner suggests that the stock pipes are not preferred... Those things are worth more than their weight in gold these days!1980 XS850SG - Sold
1981 XS1100LH Midnight Special (Sold) - purchased 9/29/08
Fully Vetterized and Dynojet Kit added, Heated Grips, Truck-Lite LED headlight, Accel Coils, Irridium plugs, TKAT Fork Brace, XS850LH Final Drive & Black SS Brake lines from Chacal.
Here's my web page devoted to my bike! XS/XJ User's Manuals there, and the XJ1100 Service Manual and both XS1100 Service manuals (free download!).
Whether you think you can, or you think you cannot - You're right.

Man, from a value standpoint though blacking out all of the gold kills it in my opinion. THAT is the defining item of the midnight really, and I doubt you can get the paint off without ruining the gold chrome beneath. As it sits, its is just a blacked out special with gold wheels.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

Cool man
I LOVE what you did with the bike. Purists be damned, I'd buy this from you and finish it up with the wheels too!!!! EXCELLENT!!! Midnight is midnight right? I've had the same basic idea turning around in my head...caught any interest on it yet?

I'm no fan of the gold either. Especially the wheels look way to light for my taste, but that is a personal preference only. Your bike, make it look however you want it to look.
If I were to come look at that bike for purchasing though, it would immediately lose any added value that the "Midnight Special" would bring to it. And I would even question if it is a MNS. The MNS is the rarest of these bikes and therefore can fetch more money. That was all I intended.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
