Question: Which bike had the longer clutch and throttle cables? Standard or Special.....or XJ?

not sure about the XJ but the special will have longer cables due to the bigger/higher bars.Originally posted by DEEBS11 View Post

According to partzilla, all of the xs1100s use the same clutch cable. The throttle cables are different between the standard and specials, but they don't give the lengths.Originally posted by DEEBS11 View PostBob's Bikes:

I met Lemmy a few times in the early 80's when I bought Motorhead albums as imports (British Metal not much available in "Nice" record shops here in Connecticut. AC/DC was hard to get also because they were from Australia. Here are a few pictures I took of him and Phil in 1983. God rest their souls. BTW - YES, you could smoke indoors back then kiddies.Originally posted by Tonyxs11 View Post

Thanks for the tip Ranger. I want to move my handlebars up and back. Need a longer cable. I got the hydraulic line. That was the easy part.Originally posted by Ranger_xs1100 View PostComment

A friend of mine in Detroit is a rather influential guitarist but not famous by any means. He once recorded an entire album with a couple of members of Devo after only evening of rehearsal! He came up with a concept for a one night show for a band he called "Militiagun" and pitched it to Lemmy, unfortunately it never happened.
Here's another project that never got too far which is highly disappointing! A silent movie with a metal band playing the background music.
