    time to split '

    i have a motor from a 19800 xs1100 special that i am taking up to the campground.
    It has 1st gear out.i also have a trany i bought on ebay. I think 1st is ok on that. but i do not have the dremel tool to fix it. if any one could help with the fix while up there i would love it. but this is the last second so it may not happen.
    At least we can talk about it so i could learn.
    see you all there. Ride safe.

        I've never done the dremel fix but I could bring the tool if someone else wants to show how it's done. When I was turning wrenches, I just replaced the gears and shift forks.

                        I had a great time, it was very nice to meet everyone.

                        I posted a couple of photos to the Detroit Lake thread if any one wants to see them.

                                    That is a nice looking collection of XS11's!

                                    Looks like the weather cooperated too.

                                            I wish I had stayed until Monday morning. The traffic out of there was nasty at best. It would have been great to have had enough time to had learned everyone's names. I guess that's the problem with weekend events...

                                                    Even if I could have made it there on Friday like I wanted to, I would have skipped the ride. My azz was killing me by the time I got there and even worse on the way home.

                                                    I spent a C note getting that seat redone with closed cell foam to prevent this but I don't know if the seat didn't help or the loss of personal padding has made riding long distance more painful...

                                                    I have to get a wider seat. I think the tractor seat I've been hording will end up on my XS11 and the wing will have to wait for me to scrounge up another one.

                                                        I think you need a seat like mine. I don't mean my az, i mean the one on the bike. I saw one i think on ebay, and another on here somewhere recently.

                                                            Are you talking about a seat with a custom pan or a redone stock pan. I'm not just all, I'm wide too and my hips are too wide for a stock seat. I think with the right seat I could do 5 or 6 hours in the saddle without a problem. As it is now I'm looking for a place to pull over and stretch before I'm through a 1/2 tank of gas.

                                                            Besides being sore and exhausted it was a great get together and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year...
