It appears to need a tank and seat, otherwise mostly there.

He has double bucket king/queen seat in good condition.

wow that worked Thanks Marty...not bad...looks like a frankenbike forsure...this is redeemable...could be brought back to stock form... Non runners go for $500...

Owner says it runs, but it needs a jump. I was not able to confirm, as it was too dark when I arrived to safely run the bike down a hill. (photos taken by owner over weekend.) Also told owner that XS11 members are notoriously prone to stinginess, and he said he'd take $500.

Sorry I didn't get photos posted right, thanks for the help.

Owner says it runs, but it needs a jump..

The jumper cables are in the background in the picture. Must be starting fluid on the step.

Closer look

...or drinking water.

Rescue Complete

As I try to promote XSiveness to all, I finally talked my (HD owner) neighbor into buying this one. I accompanied him while we picked it up today. As one can see, it needs work.

I told him that he now has a "real" motorcycle.

He is a veteran of the USMC. He loves the way Bob Jones customized the Limie Accent (and others). He is inspired and is very creative as well as talented in fabrication. His initial thoughts are to transform this E into a US Marines theme bike and is considering the "dress blues" colors.

I intend to help him as much as I can and will post results as they occur.

Does anyone recognize this tank? I'm thinking Maxim, but not sure.

HOO-RAH!

That does appear to be a Maxim tank.
