    Looks so much like my 79SF when I picked it up new, I never changed a thing on it but the grips when they wore out, later the exhaust when it rusted through, oh white lettered Dunlop Elite.

        .......higher than your location, in more ways than one.
        .....and only a grand more than when new.
        Still looks to be a nice example!

          Nice SF

          Good looking bike. Well done on keeping it (mostly) OEM. Glad to see them commanding more $ as the years progress. I do not doubt that he may very well get his asking price.

                The bars appear to be XS1100 standard.
