Looks good Don! Black-out the engine with some PJ1, and it'll look close to The Rev's bike. Round headlight makes it look like every other UJM bike though.

Nice!........Who's the manufacturer of the 'piggy-back' gas shocks?

I have found the clutch sometimes slip under heavy exhilaration.
Will attempt to cure with clutch spring shims.

Don't bother with shims. Just get new springs. They are a point of wear, and need to be replaced over time.

Thank you for the welcome.
I need to change the signature. I bought a parts bike with the above bike and it is a SH.
I think this one is a 1979 model and I don't believe this was originally a Special.
Like you said "a bit of a franken XS11".

Had a complete carburetor rebuilt. Made such a huge difference in performance.

Welcome Quintin,
Looks a bit of what we like to call a Frankenbike.
What do you know of it's history? how long have you owned it.?
Your signature says SH which equals Special however the forks are from a Standard model. Not sure but expect SA got the same models as Australia unless this was imported from some other location.
Looks quite rideable . You might find it performs better with a little more baffle to give some back pressure.

Bought this cheapy.
She still pulls strong.
Sound like all hell is breaking loose wen you really open the throttle (no baffles).

Sig. says SH.....picture says a whole-lotta different.

Jeez, Greg, anyone can park going slow. It's that high-speed parking I have trouble with....

I'm back on the XS, but I thought I'd post a pic of the last time I parked the V-Star:

You might check - I think you have a leak. Glad you are almost back to normal(?).

Nice way of saying you're not a donor, its nice to hear you're a...... "damaged/repairable"

I'm no expert but I think you need to work on your parking skills.
