What year is it?

I recently picked up an 1100 special from an auction. I have an 80lg and this bike is a 78 or 79. It doesn't have a tag on the frame.

Are they any specific differences b/w the 78 and 79 that I can see? Bike was one of those "barn finds" w/o title.

The carbs were sitting on top of the bike where the seat should have been. the plates are all stuck and all but one slide is frozen. i have sprayed them with pb blaster, but is there something i can soak them in. Not going to try and use them, but parts would be nice.

So I now have enough bikes in the shop that I can't put the car in there anymore. 7 of them. My wife said it was kind of xsive. That made me smirk a little

serial #

Check the headstock and the engine for the stamped serial #. Then look in the left column of this page and click specifications. Then click on xs1100 serial #'s and look up your number.
