    New Kid on the Block

    Hi: Well just got my wife a 1979 XS1100SF for $800 and seems to run pretty good. Carbs a little gummy after having old gas in it since Sept. Put in some BG Superchare II and it should come out of it in a few tanks full.
    Really seems like a nice bike and has a high rise seat added and soon as I figure out the picture thing will post one.
    Stay around as will probably need help with something LOL

          Welcome and let me say I truly appreciate your choice of ride. 79 was a very good year as far as I'm concerned.

                  I don't k now about where to get them in the UK, but here is a firm selling indicators and lights

                  Has the wiring in your bike been totally changed?

                      indicators

                      Yes the wiring for indicators have been removed so will that make it difficult.
