    Ole builds awesome bikes. I have one of his that is a virtual twin to the one pictured. Not sure if knowledgeable buyers are out there that see the value, but I am sure I could not have built a bike for what I paid for mine.

      Not sure to whom you're referencing...but a couple things grab me ...first is only 400 on rebuild and the rest of it which looks pristine(could benefit from better photgraphy)could be justifiably a good price for this bike...He states this is the last of his collection so this might be it from this fella...

        The seller references Ole's Restoration as the engine re-builder. Ole's Classic Cycles, based in Wisconsin, has been doing comprehensive re-builds of the XS1100 and other makes for several years. He builds great performing examples of the XS1100.

          He's been at it for some time. There are several XS1100's featured on his site.

            He's restored an XS1100 5K7 Sport (before and after pics), first time I've ever seen one in the US
