I looked down and my left side cover was gone. Turned around and got it, but it was cracked and the brand new emblem was trash. Got it repaired/painted and another new emblem.
Was my fault as it was not latched. Oh well.1981 XS1100H Venturer

Congrats!
CongratsGreg on saving the Hornet! I am glad you got it back and at a discount - I know you liked it the best and hated to see it go in the first place but none of us have unlimited space or resources.
Wish I still had all the old parts - I still have a lot but unfortunately a left side cover is not one. Just a right from an 80 is all I could find as far as extra covers.
I am going to see if Ryan will help me finally get my brakes fixed and give the bike a going over this Christmas so I can get back on the road after this Winter. I am thinking its time.

Go ahead, click on the bikes - you know you want to...the electrons are ready.

I bought an SG real cheap with destroyed carburetors. No ohm aftermarket coils were installed. That took out the ignition unit, so the carbs got wrecked.Marty (in Mississippi)
