The first pic is a MNS. The second is lord only knows, not much more than a frame and an engine. The third looks to be a 79 Special. The more complete bikes still need parts and work, since the exhaust is not complete on any of them, it will be some dollars to get them completed.
Interestingly enough, the parts bike does not have any of the parts needed to complete the bikes from the look of things. Wonder if any have titles?
And yes Moto, I do see the XJ of some size in the background of the parts bike picture.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

Mns?
The question is whether that is a MNS that the engine was changed or a Special that now has MNS fenders, wheels and side covers? Probably enough parts to build one running bike and you would still have to deal with the second gear issue.

There's only two 11s here... The 'MNS' with the swapped motor, and the '79 Special. The motor/frame is a smaller XJ, probably a match to the XJ semi-under the black tarp in the background. About $1K too much given the conditions...Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two
