    Hey fellow XS lovers,

    Unfortunately I'm in the position to have to sell my XS11. Our housing situation is changing and I have to sell both bikes for now.

    Details on the bike:
    It currently has 22,194 miles and was just rebuilt. The previous owner melted a hole in piston #1. So I swapped out all four pistons for used OEMs and put all new rings on. The head was honed by Midwest Cylinder Head & Machine.

    The crankcase was flushed thoroughly to remove any chunks of piston. Everything was reassembled and almost all vacuum and fuel lines were replaced. Gas tank was also cleaned before it was put back together and in-line filters were added.

    It has had it's post-break-in oil change after the first 25 miles. It's running and pulls hard, but it does need some tuning. The brakes will need bled, which I'm hoping to do before it sells. They are functional, but not optimal. There is also a small oil leak coming from the lower left timing cover and on the left side in between the head and crankcase. I'm going to pull the gas tank and double check torques (since it has a new gasket).

    I'm not totally sure what this is worth in it's current condition. I have it listed for $1400 on CL. If anyone is interested, please text or call.

    I apologize for the poor pictures. I just wanted to get something up, but moving out of our house has been the priority. Please excuse the mess in the garage.

    Nice bike...sorry you have to sell it...the amount of money you are asking isnt going to help a whole lot...actually think you are underbidding yourself but then if you are desperate to sell $1400 is pretty attractive and someone should grab it pretty quickly...GLWS
    I just noticed you have a Special headlamp and aftermarket mufflers..not sure what those handlebars are...still my opinion is $1400 -$1800
