…...yup, also missing original air-box and bars have been changed amongst who knows what all else.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top. -
Several yrs ago there was a similar naked Venturer that had side covers..and obviously the headlight conversion..alot of effort to do that...why didnt they just get a std model?

I think what he was saying was they didn’t all come as venture models. That was the Xs11 standard for that year also. Not everyone got the bag and windshield version. I’d just like the big tank and maybe some hard bags that I could put on if I needed them! I don’t think I’ve ever even rode a windshield bike. They always got ripped off as soon as I got them home. Lol
But yeah, that does look all kinds of messed up.Last edited by xs11lover; 10-21-2018, 11:15 AM.79 XS11 Special (Lazarus)

It looks like the pan is missing, and so are the rear turn signals, the fork ears are upside down and ya gotta love those duct tape side covers. hey it’s got some nice pod filters. But they are all simple things to fix.79 XS11 Special (Lazarus)
