81 XS 1100 Special Chicago

I suppose I should share this gem even though I'm trying to get a friend to buy it haha

Pretty clean! I had talked to the owner seemed pretty motivated to sell. Might buy this one for my project and re sell the cherry one I just picked up.

Special

Here is another Special (less money) that looks pretty nice also. A little further away from you (Maine), but maybe not too far. May be able to have it shipped for not so much (uShip).

For a $100 difference I think I would go with the SH, less miles and it appears to be all there versus the SF which is missing some items, not to mention the replacement seat cover. This time of the year you could probably get the price of the one in Chicago down to close to $1000 or less, the ad says OBO.

That SF is really nice! I could not figure out what kind of mufflers those were though. Are those the Mike's XS or the ones from Dennis Kirk?

[Hak]

Yeah I think I'm going to offer the guy 1000 and see if he'll bite. I can always re-sell the one I just bought. It's been listed for a while now and I know he's paying monthly storage so he may be wiling to cut a deal.

Hak,

If you end up with two XS1100SH's you can probably put together a good stocker and mod the other, or get them both purring and unload them to buy four more! That's how this works.

Yeah the one is already mint! I'm sure I could sell it for at least if not more than what I paid for it come spring time. I'm tryin to get my buddies into the XS game so hopefully I could bait one of them with it lol
