Re: Hmmmmmmm
I DON'T THINK SO! LOL She's a monster in person. And, here we go again.............forgone the XJ's down in Sterling Heights. Now! I am going for my first love! A 1978 XS Special. One of them there Cali bikes full dressed. First thing comin off when I get her home is that faring! But she's got all the hard bags on the back end with all the chrome and nothing rusted on this bike!Originally posted by Wildkat

mstic2000,
The 1978 ONLY came as a Standard. If it has the original Pacifico fairing, try riding WITH it on before you remove it. The '78 was the fastest of the XS1100s, and that one year fairing was CLEANER through the air than the Windjammer design that followed.
I've had BOTH types on the same bike, and I CAN tell the difference via MPG and top speed.Ray Matteis
