Looks like a good job. They made it how they wanted. I'd sure like to have the motor and exhaust... someone else can keep the rest of it.

THe one thing
I do like about the bike is the large yammy symbol on the side covers. I may take that inspiration and run with it.1979 XS1100SF (4-1 Kerker, XS Pods, 145 mains, 45 pilots, drag bars, blacked out)Comment

They did a decent job on it. For a "total... Restoration", they missed one simple thing - the choke lever is broken.

Hi 'Bug,Originally posted by CatatonicBug View PostThey did a decent job on it. For a "total... Restoration", they missed one simple thing - the choke lever is broken.
as far as the paint goes, I painted mine towtruck orange so what do I know?
The overall look is good as are the stock ergonomics with flatter bars and bigger fenders are more practical after all.
Your eagle eyes spotted the broken choke while my aging vision slid right over it but I see no comment about the complete absence of the rear light and turn signals.Fred Hill, S'toon

I think that brown is supposed to be more of a gold-backed, varnished-teak look. I bet it looks really nice in the sunlight.Originally posted by crazy steve View Post

if I'd done that workover I'd have gone up on the Royal Enfield system.
