Hi guys, I am bidding on a dressed 80 XS1100, and hoping the fairing, bags, seat, etc etc will ft my 79... what's the verdict? the 80 is not in running condition...

Then again, if you watch big Paul and little Paulie and the rest of the boys , you can fit just about anything onto pretty much anything else if you set your mind to it...

In 1980 the TCI unit was moved to under the center of the seat. You can put a later seat on an earlier bike but not the other way round without modifications to the seat or where the TCI box mounts.

I am infected! I saw that bike with all the accessories I hope to get, and I bit... fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your perspective , I was outbid by $600! The search goes on...

Started with one 81 RH, now have two of those and two 80 model 850's. Suppose it is better for me than alcohol and drugs?Comment

So Cueball was troubled at passing 40.
Child! Amateur!
Jazzrat claims passing 50 is worse.
Tyro! Beginner!
Those milestones are as nothing compared to getting your first old age pension cheque.

Pension Cheques
Hey Fred, hurry and catch up. I've been collecting OAS for 6 plus years. It is lonely near the top. Bot not lonely enough to be bored and go back and get a job or anything else as dumb.
