and ran across this bit from merriam cycles:
"We can do anything you might want done to Your XS1100. Carb's are a
little harder than most people realize until they get into them and some
parts can be damaged beyond repair and that would total your bike. A set of
carb's rebuilt to work properly are worth $1200.00."
HAHAHAHAHA....
should read:
"We can do anything you might want done to Your XS1100 but you will definitely pay for it. Carb's are a
lot easier than most people realize until they get into them and some
parts can be damaged beyond repair. but not too big of a deal, as partsare still currently available and in fact a set of working carbs can be had on ebay for around $100"
he also told me that the 2nd gear fix will cost $700 in labor alone. by my calculations that's about $175 per hour. and that's the time it takes ME to do it - and i have only done it once before.
don't get me wrong, the guy does amazing things with an XS.... but $1200 for a set of carbs??? $175 + per hour labor?? are you insane???? maybe I am in the wrong business.
