    I started restoring my XS Eleven 78 model in 94, but have left it in the garage for several years without finnishing it, but are now started to put the pieces back.

    I have som dificulties to get new valveshims for adjusting the valves after recondished the valves. but I came over an another engine yesterday so I maybye use parts from this to compleet the otherone.

    I hope to get my beauty back on the road in the summer.

    Last night it came aprox 35 cm of snow so the winter here is total.
    I tried to put some picetures in here but dident get it in here.
    This forum semes like nice place for get help so I will be out her often with some questions.

              The biker season i Norway starts when the snow is gone, and no frosty nights. the summer starts around 1 of may and ends in late september. Some of us take the bike ut for a run in the easter but just for take out som pressure in the testosteron.

              The weather here to day is 13 degrees below cero, littlebit snowy and very slippery roads.
