Welcome,
This is the place to be if you have questions. The search tab at the top of the page will become a fast friend.
Glad you found a MNS to bring back to life.

Welcome to the site! If you haven't already, get a manual (free download from my signature). You've found the right place for info on these bikes, and it is definitely nice to see another MNS on the road!
Don't be shy about asking questions - we love to give answers. Hopefully, some of them will help you!

You have to join a photo sharing site (like photobucket) and paste the IMG link from there into a post here. No way to directly upload photos to a post here, as that would make the site more costly for the admins.Originally posted by XS1100 Newbie View Post1980 XS850SG - Sold

Wow! That's a nice one! Looks like everything stock is there, except for the aftermarket seat. Very nice. How much did you shell out for that one?1980 XS850SG - Sold
