Why????
You spend 5 hours cutting up an Xj1100 when you could have sold it to a member instead who could have tried to fix it????. We must be missing something.............Hope you sell whats left of it, if anything.........a lot of us have xj1100's and know they are a great bike. So, wishing you know have peace, but a lot of us are crying about the demise of another xj......Mike in Sun Diegomike

did not want to do it but it was impossible to get a title for it .i know it made some members mad. my intention was to fix it but state makes that to hard and exspensive. im sorry if i have affended anyone. i did take my time taking care pulling it apart. everything is as it was built.never been butchered .eveything was in pretty good shape. i do need some parts for my sg. the rest going to sell. so others can save there bike as well. so please forgive me.when you want something bad enough, don't let anything stand in your way, and don't take "no" for an answer.
