Xs 1100 Sg

[TERJE ANDERSEN]

Hi ! This is my SG, got it from Minnesota in july 2000. Do any of you know if there is many SG`s equipped like this one? Or was it most standard xs1100`s that had fairing,hardbags and topbox?




I hope there is a picture here !?

I don't recall the specials as having any types of fairing, boxes, etc. that was usually on the standard model. nonetheless your bike is very handsome! Good luck with it! Mooseman

I have seen a few like that. Cowboy Bob had one named "Nightmare." Bob Garcia of SD.

Boy, that sure is pretty!

[STEPPENWOLF]

Does that bike have more than 10 miles on it? Looks better than show room condition.

[renegade_xs11g]

That's almost what mine looked like when I got it......

Except the trunk was different, and the poor thing hadn't seen that pretty in a long time!!!!

My 80 SG looked just like that when I got it. Not quite that clean, and it had a Mustang King & Queen seat. Pacifico fairing and lowers, Yamaha boxes and single rails. There were some with double rails around the side boxes, and some with lights installed in the rails. A Standard would be more logical as a touring bike, but a lot of people are ready for a break every 100 miles and they get their wish with a Special.

To your question Steppenwolf: Yes ,it has more than 10 miles - it has 12000 miles ! (4600 miles when i got it,so it is not used much of me eighter) Not much miles for a bike made late in 1979. If you look closer in the picture you will see that the mufflers are replaced. Behind the front foot peg you can see a plate on the muffler. It says something like this: only to be used on pre 1982 motorcycles..............
It is genuine mufflers for the specials,but made of yamaha AFTER 1982. The mufflers that were on the bike when I got it was rusted from inside. When the bike was shipped from USA to Norway in 2000, some idiot made a large dent in the gastank - so the tank is repainted.

Are they Bates saddle bags looks like the ones I had on my Midnight. If you look at the lights it might have printed on it some where the name Bates.

I dont think the saddlebags are Bates. The word YAMAHA and Made in Canada is in the hardplastic on the inside of the bags. There are no lights on these hardbags, so I assume you mean the red reflectors? The brand of the reflectors are STANLEY

Very nice... looks just like my '80
... in my dreams

As a side note, there is one component that's part of your set-up that I would love to add to mine and that's the lowers on the fairing.
Soooooo...... if there's anyone out there who might be able to point me in the right direction or otherwise help out, please let me know. I've got a Pacifico fairing on my '80 G and, while I'm not even sure that the lowers were part of, or an available option on this fairing, I seem to recall having seen a picture of one at one time.

Then again, I could have just been dreaming of Terje's XSively nice special

[acof911]

Hi, xsilerating ! If the fairing on this picture



of this G is a Pacifico - lowers was available. But as you see they are different from the Pacifico xs11 special fairing. I am not sure that the lowers acof911 found on ebay are for your fairing? BTW - thanks for the nice words about my SG, I am starting to believe that I did a good deal when I paid $1500 for her 7 years ago !?
