      Welcome to the board and to XS11 living. Great score on the Venturer. Excellent bike. Tony at Oregon Motorcycle Parts is your best friend. www.oregonmotorcycleparts.com.

        Well that sucks black betty! I've been wandering the US for 2 weeks or I'd have greeted you. Welcome to the list, and not to worry. Everyone here is a great resource, and very dependant on each other for advice, parts, and general BS. Welcome to the biggest bike gang in the world!
        Bone stock 1980 Special except for the exhaust and crashbars. Oh yeah, and the scabbard for the Winchester Defender.

            Hi Lance (and whoablackbetty too) welcome,
            If you are new to Yamahas you may not know this. One of their little design quirks is making the right side mirror mount with a LEFT hand thread.
            And didja know the XS/XJ 1100 engine runs backwards? That discovery was a major WTF? moment for me.
            If you ain't got 'em, stainless brake lines are well worth installing.
            As is a TKAT fork brace; compared to a 600lb bike those forks are kinda frail and need all the help they can get.
            The blade fuse swap is good but if the tube fuses are still working OK that particular swap isn't urgent.
