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.

Bikes that inspire
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.

Ben,Originally posted by madmax-im View PostThe Blue bike in the background is Viper Ron's 1980...nice paint all the way around...can you tell I like the Venturer based fairings?
Hoping to finish Swampthing in a similar vein...she is already a bagger...just gotta nail down a real venturer fairing...i think i got one.....ofc it will have to be painted Red to match the rest of the bike...
Swampthing is the middle bike in the first pic above...
When you get around to painting, the match is GM #380Former owner, but I have NO PARTS LEFT!Comment

Hi Ben,Originally posted by madmax-im View PostThanks Randy...project is on hold...theres no rush or deadline...having trouble finding a fairing due to expenses right now...good news there isnt anything I need to do to the bike except an oil change...know where I can get some filters?
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.

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.Originally posted by XJOK2PLAY View Post
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...1980 XS650G Special-Two
