    1978 Xs1100

    Thinking about selling my bike. bills are getting behind now but the price has to be right. i have heard it run a few years ago then it flooded with gas it has sat since. it cannot run right now for a few reasons. Mainly the floats were shot, so it needs all four floats, the gas tank should be cleaned out, people have told me it will be fine with inline fuel filters but im anal about it so i wanted to clean it. what you do with it will be up to you.. besides that it needs the normal things after a bike has sat for over a year..shipping is not available by me. if you come look at it or buy it from me you can arrange your own shipping if desired and i will help with loading if needed but i will not do the arranging. so if you are interested shoot me a offer, the worst i can say is no.

          If it were me, i would get it running and then sell it. You could probably clean the carbs and set the float levels and all that stuff and get it running. I would say it had dirt or gunk under the float needle is why it flooded. You may be able to get it running in a couple of hours for free if everything is good in your carbs. Mine hadnt ran for a few years and I got it running the day i bought it for $500. After you get it running, you probably wouldnt sell it though. I know I have seen hard times before but it always seems to work out, good luck. Sorry, i didnt see the part about the floats being bad. I would still fix it though.

            if i had the money i would fix it, but bills b4 toys.. im sure once things get back on track ill be looking for another. this bike only needs a few hundred to make her road worthy. and the a few hundred i dont have right now. believe me i dont want to sell it at all. but my wife and kids come b4 any thing. i may have a buyer i will update when i can.

                              Turn signals and mount stays

                              I'm interested in both front and rear turn signals and the mount stays for each. Shoot me a decent price including shipping and I'll consider buying them.

                              Thanks in advance,

                              Kevin
