    Yeah, the shiny gray bike is Bohn's. Harry's bike is a black F with a HUGE fairing on it with like 16 headlights.

    That's Bigfoots bike 2nd from the left.

        I agree Marty, All the Right Curves On this XS 650

        1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
        1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
        1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)

              So I found this site and of coarse went into the Yamaha section to the XS11 thought I would post the link here the bike that comes up I think colour wise makes this XS very classy.

                  Swampthing is the middle bike in the first pic above...
                  Ben,

                  When you get around to painting, the match is GM #380

                      Hi Ben,

                      I get my (Wix 24933) oil filters from Summit Racing Equipment. Filters come with both o-rings. I have a "garage" account with them and I can get a pretty good price ($5.45). I think anyone can get that type of account. Cannot find a better filter than Wix. I assume that you can get them from your local NAPA dealer as well.

                      Mike

                                better get some new specs Bob...there are no XJ's in pic #4...that pic was on the sunday ride up to Clingman's Dome and preety sure Tod was not with us rather he was visiting Greg in AV hosp.
                                That ride to Clingman's Dome was a bust...while the ride up was cool riding into the clouds/fog and rain...once up to the top it was fogbanked so no views...even worse was the ride down to go to lunch... I dont think we will be returning there in the future...
