My 1980 Yamaha XS1100 SG Special chopper

[Montreux_Blue]

1980 XS1100SG that has been made into a single seater. It is fast for an old bike and handles the twisties very well, and if any of you had seen it in Talihina or the Bob Jones rally in Arkansas you would know! Had about 25,000 on speedo when I bought it and swapped it for a 160 mph speedo when it had 28,000 on it. The 160 had about 25,000 on it when swapped and now has 33,113, so I've put about 11,000 miles on it. I have taken many trips on it and it has never broken down or left me stranded. It also still has the octy installed and functions perfectly, if you don't know what that is, it automatically shuts off the fuel when the engine is turned off and automatically comes on when the engine is turned on so you never have to shut off the petcocks!!! Runs, stops and rides great! No clutch slips and no second gear problem. I wouldn't be afraid at all to ride it over 600 miles in a day because I've done it with no problem! Clear title in hand. No shipping, delivery or checks, CASH ONLY. No joyrides without cash in my hand! $1,800 or best offer!

Bike looks real good! I think you should have no problem getting that for it. I would be hard put to sell it!

[Montreux_Blue]

No lose to me, it did what I wanted. I'm past the chopper thing. And now that I have the 78 with a rear fender and back seat so I don't have to use a backpack on trips anymore or worry about rain!

[Montreux_Blue]

new carb boots
XS11 Standard handle bars.........

Looks like a Tkat fork brace on there also.
Man its a shame we put so much time and money into these bikes and they still arent worth much! Thats gonna make a nice buy for somebody.

Yep, TKAT fork brace.
And replaced A LOT of screws on it with stainless Allen head screws, including the carbs. I hate stripped out screw heads!


More time than money I guess but what I'm asking is probably my break even price. Luckily I did almost all the work by myself and the rest with a little help from friends. 100% honesty, nobody wants to pay anything for these bikes, even XS11 people! People are cheap, always has been, always will be. I had fun traveling on it and pretty much everyone likes it, after all it's not a HARDTAIL!!!!! It did it's job well and now it's time to pass it on. Hell, I'd sell it to a friend for probably half that if they really wanted it!

Hey buddy, old pal, rember me, i met you onece, lol (just kiding) Looks good, but the one you just got is Bad A**
That is something like I am building now, yea you should have no problem getting that price out of it
Good to meet you last week end, wish I could have stayed around longer and visted with every one but I had to go to work and I missed the sunday deal because i did not get home from work until 4:30 sunday morning, my week ends are perty shot with this part time job but it gives me the extra money to buy these parts bikes and the like.

[XS1100 Newbie]

Are those stock shocks on the rear, or are they lowering shocks? If they are shorter, then how much shorter, and what are they off of? I am trying to lower mine, so i can flat foot it. Looking for info.
Thanks
