    Hey Bruce:
    Yeah, I already got it. It's a 93 Honda Nighthawk 750 with only 5,000 miles on it. I love it.
    Did you get your bike problems sorted out yet? I'd hate to see you drive to XSeast next year!

      Drive

      All sorted out Mark, carbs were the main issue, had a dealer install 4 kits of dubious origin was not a wise move on my part, I ended up removing the entire kits all XSept the emulsion tubes which were original and clean and installing the parts from my 79s carbs the donor bike and donor engine.......I've got maybe 2500 Kms on bike so far, it smokes a bit from the start then calms down......extremlly smooth engine , quick and strong, I like the bike alot!.....hope you get a good price for your XS, nice bike

        That bike went for AU$5,800.00 which is US$4,797.12. Not too shabby.
