If someone else had it out in the snow, Don is not doing the bike anymore harm. He's offering the bike to whomever would like it whole, or a piece of it. Bike looks good, and has nice pieces. He could make a nice chunk off that bike. No shame done to it if the bike lives-on . . .1979 XS1100F

It is warm and dry in my shop now.
Took the shift lever case off and that spindle is missing but I can shift it ok.
Next drain the oil and see if the engine turns over. Kick starter not so good so I have to get it into 4th gear to bump it over.
I took the starter out and thats ok may try to jump the starter as there are no keys.
I picked it up from a sailor at the Sub base who was getting transferred.78E, 79F, 80G

I found all the parts that I need to put the shifting arm back in place.
Had a new gasket in my pile of parts also I just need to figure out how that tension spring goes in.
I think that the engine is stuck so I filled the cylinders up with a 50/50 mixture of ATF and acetone. I let it sit for a few days and try it.78E, 79F, 80G

Try the nut on the right side, but don't break it.
Hydraulic pressure can be used to free it. Find the cylinder with closed valves. You should be able to figure it out by pulling the valve cover and finding the cylinder with both cam lobes pointed up. A hydraulic ram filled with oil adapted to the spark plug hole would be ideal. Most of us don't have that but we do have a grease gun. Read on:
How to make a spark plug into a "Greaseplug"
The down side to this is that you're going to be left with a big grease turd in your engine. I'd probably try to fill the cylinder with Marvel Mystery Oil, or solvent, or engine oil before applying the grease.
I witnessed this trick applied to a Chevrolet V8. A hand held grease gun broke it free when a long pull handle wouldn't.
I have a friend who restores old tractors and he using this method. Instead of a grease gun, he uses a large hydraulic hand operated ram. It works every time and is less messy than grease.Marty (in Mississippi)

Put the bike on the center stand, engage 5th gear, and using the back wheel as a slide hammer, keep tapping it against the gears forward and back. There is enough play in the gear train that you can get a good thump. Do not use a lower gear, the ratios are against you.
Do not worry about breaking anything, you can't put as much force on the gears as the mighty 1100 does at full song.
