    think

    I can't see it, but if it's an XS11 that runs, I think you should hold on to it with both hands....

              It looks to be a 79 special (kickstarter) with a later model seat. The lack of an adequate exhaust system may shorten the life of the engine. I do like the color.

                Not to be a ---- buster but that rear tire looks to be worn and outdated.You said its for sale.If i was looking at buying a used bike,thats money right off the bat that you would have to spend on tires.

                  Looks pretty good

                  But the wear on the back tire and the lack of exhaust would be something that I'd change depending on what you're asking for it.
                  If I were coming to look at it, those two issues would say to me that it's been a burnout toy and it's been abused. You might consider changing those things if you are asking a decent price for it.
                  BTW did you lower the front or just take the air out of the forks? Doing so can affect the mechanics and handling. Just curious...
                  Good luck in the sale.

                  Just my 2 cents.

                    It looks like the front was just pulled down by the ratchet straps.
                    It also looks funny to me without the grabbar behind the seat.The tank and side covers look nice though.Did you paint it?Did you put many miles on it yourself?
