  • OUr XS1100 79 running!!!!

    It is running pretty good. Carbs rebuilt did not use their main jets or pilot jets but the rest of the kit.

    It is running but needs sycned yet. Also he still needs to check out all of the brakes and wiring.

    Got all our parts Side covers, etc. relined gas tank.

    Just need to paint.

    We are off and running Yippee!!! Still waiting for my ride, not until it is checked and completed

    Thanks for everyone's help and I am glad you are there for us.

    We will be talking to all of ya soon and pics

    GOOD JOB!

    Now that it runs, just keep tinkering with it. Tell him we think he deserves to ride it now.

        When you guys get the rest of the bugs out, head on down this way and we can go for a spin. My wife and I don`t have anyone to ride with. You`re only an hour away. My XS sat for 16 yrs before I redone it. Just takes time.

          Hello Again Jim and Sherry&Mark,
          I saw this post after sending you both private messages. We need to organize a spring rally in central ohio, but even before that we need to take a nice fall ride into SE ohio.
          I will post in the lounge to see if there is anyone interested in a central ohio XS rally.

            Good news! Always glad to hear more 'success stories'. Just to let you know, though, you are never quite done....always a bit or 2 you want to add, upgrade, or tinker with.
