Looks much better than it did in the ad. Have you cleaned it up a bit?

hi Dan yes good old meguires new generation polish. beat one ive found.I don't think the original owner done much to it in the last 10yrs.(tyres were 12yrs old) changed them.need to change or check head bearings and get a fork brace.have you seen the ad on here (in the classifieds ) for a xs in australia 20,000km on it.

[Stralya]

Head bearings?

If you mean you have a knocking noise in your top end it may just be the oil that's in it. I just re built my engine and after I ran it in using Motul single wieght oil I put in some 20w50 which had some synthetic additives. The cam shafts make a knocking noise now but when I change the oil I'll put in something without additives and the knock should go away. I haven't seen the ad on here yet but I'll have a look.

You must have the only factory full dresser in Oz. I think I have the only Vetter full dresser, where are you?, we should get together for a bit of a ride.

Just saw the ad, that bike's in Buderim QLD, a bit far away from me but I'd offer $1500 if I were closer

i'm in Wagga the guy that owned the bike is now 80yrs old he bought it over from the states with him. i got my learners on a xs1100e standard in mid eighties.a friend of mine smashed it up (he only went around the block)



.only had it a month.have you got some picks of your on the site anywhere?.

[Stralya]

I have some that were taken before the rebuild and before I got the Vetter bags and top box. I don't have a camera. Here are a couple taken on Cristmas eve 2006.









and here are a few of the bike when I first got it.










As soon as I can arrange it, I'll get some recent ones done.

Help!

I ran out of editing time, can one of the mods please fix this post for me?

[TopCatGr58]

Hey Dan,

I fixed it, just the next time you post photos, just hit the ENTER button, carriage return to put the next photo on the next line so that it will be shown BELOW the previous photo, not beside it, which caused the massive sidescrolling!

PS, since you're in the posting mood, how's about some NEW photos with your new SOFCA mounted! Hopefully Pete will receive his soon! Who knows, if XSRunner doesn't have a cooler already on his, he may want one also!

It just tickles me that I'm "INTERNATIONAL/INTERCONTINENTAL"!

Nice looking machine - got to get that BMW badge off the fairing though
Still at least it wasn't a Hardley one!

Photo Queen?

Love it.

Thanks TC. The SOFCA goes on next oil change and hopefully some kind soul will (pete) will take some new ones.

Si, the BMW srickers show 'BMW Club of Georgia' I haven't even tried to remove them, they make a nice talking point. All the luggage came from various parts of the U.S back when you could ship stuff to Australia in an actual ship. Now it's air mail only and to have big heavy stuff like that shipped nowadays would cost thousands! I hope I never drop the bike, I could never afford to replace anything that got broken.

Here's a pic of the fairing on the BMW it came off.

Fair enough
My buddy is a big big BMW fan, funny though he keeps offering me rides on his so he can have a go on mine!
