Thanks very much! I've spent a bit of time and effort renovating the bike. Many of the NOS parts on it came from the USA in fact. The last stage is the exhaust system which means taking the bike to a specialist place next Saturday. They're going to make a stainless steel replica of the original system... or as near as is feasible. I hope..........XS1100F 1980 European model. Standard. Dyna coils. Iridium plugs.

Hi. Yes, it's on eBay at £1044 ... that's almost $1700. Rather a lot, I think. The seller doesn't actually make them himself. He's acting as an agent for the person who does make them and puts a mark-up on top of that.
The person I'm taking my bike to is a one-man band who does lots of systems in polished stainless steel for all sorts of bikes. He estimated a more realistic £550 (about $880) for my system. He says he can make 30"+ silencers, bevel the ends and have the single hole at the back like the original.I did think about buying some NOS joint cover trims but they're chromed and might look a bit odd next to stainless?
It may be possible to ship this system to the USA from here. I don't know if it would be cost-effective for you over there to buy them? Shipping would be about $170 with Fedex. In any event, I'll post photos once he's done the jobXS1100F 1980 European model. Standard. Dyna coils. Iridium plugs. XS750 final drive (sometimes). Micron fork brace. Progressive front springs.

Hi James, the stainless and chrome mix shouldn't be too obvious if the stainless is polished pretty well. I lost my original joint cover and replaced it with a bit of trimmed 316 tube. Doesn't look too out of place?

There are some fantastic looking bikes here. Mine is a stock SG but I plan to make some slight modifications. I have the 160mph speedo, also a fairing and hard bags that I just need to repaint.

Is '80 when they started using the 85mph speedo on these Elevens? I know that Honda started in '80 with lame ass 85mph speedo. That's what mine has on it.I have the 160mph speedo,1980 CB750KComment
