help me identify my bike

01-05-2010, 06:51 PM

I recently bought what I believe to be a '79 XS1100 Standard.

I am wanting to work on the wiring so I think I need to know more specifically what model it is.

The VIN is 2H7024277.

Can someone please help me narrow down what I have.

Thanks

If you don't own a fire extinguisher, do me a personal favor and go purchase one... immediately.
