    I'm Brak

    Hi Guys, just wanted to introduce myself...

    I'm 38, and have been riding since the original Ghost Busters movie was in the theater

    I've had several Yamaha's through the years, including a couple dirt bikes, an '03 R1, and an '82 Virago 750.

    Current bike is an '80 XS11 Special, i bought as a box of parts, and it hit the road for the first time today. There are a few issues to work out (mainly carbs, and random leaks), but she definitely wanted to RUN!

    I've been reading this forum for years, so i feel like i know most of you already.
    It's about time i joined the ranks

          here you go...



          I changed to the supersport bar yesterday.
          the stock ape hangers (hyperbole of course), were a bit too much for me.

            ....also notice the seat has been re-done as it has lost its rider dished portion, which became prominent on 80-81Specials and Standards.

              Yeah, it's aftermarket.
              Doesn't fit very well, came with the bike.

              I'll deal with that eventually
