As difficult as it is ...I'm just not riding it...this year maybe 10-15 miles just to test out the tkat fork brace...this bike is a in great running condition and is a shame to be just sitting there unused...I've had it for the better part of 30 yrs...now its time for someone else to put some love into it...Lots of stuff done over the yrs and has the distinction of having been worked on by TC and Randy...plus a few others as well...I will include the touring pkg...WJ,bracket,rear rack with adj. backrest and locking topbox w/key...Asking $2500 but will cut a deal for someone here...otherwise its already up on CL locally....doubt anyone here will bite..you're all a bunch of cheap bastiges...

I hear those XJs ride smoother than the XS with air shock suspension - hope you get a good bite.

Thanks John...I just hate to see it sitting there. I've gotten so comfortable on my ST1100 that the XJ has become too uncomfortable for me to ride any distances greater than 100 miles...that and getting older...body needs more comfort...pretty soon the ST is going too..Gonna want a Goldwing GL1800...a sure sign of senior citizenitis...
I do have a fish on the line coming Sat..very interested...we shall see.1980 XS650G Special-Two

Greg you laugh but that happened to a friend of mine on his Harley and he fell over and broke his leg real good.
Doc said it should no longer hold up weight of bike or he may break again and be crippled. Wife made him install one of the outrigger kits.
He's gonna get a trike eventually instead.

Ok.........NC isn't down it's more like over and up. All the Wingers I've encountered were just something else that I had to wait for a fairly straight stretch to get around. No way those Cadillacs can lean as far over as an XS. Too much stuff hanging off them.
The are as comfortable as a rocking chair on the front porch though.Greg

Not sure its true but I once heard that the GL1800 was design was lead by the head of Honda's sport bike division, specifically because they wanted it to 'handle' well.1979 xs1100 Special -

So just because I'd opt for a GW doesnt necessarily mean I'm gonna slow down...maybe a little but the creature comforts i will enjoy would be greater than any other bike I am likely to ever ride. Peace Bro'1980 XS650G Special-Two
