      Manufacture Date

      Strom, what is the serial number on your bike? Possibly an educated guess could be made from that and refer to other peoples serial number/manufactured date.

                  The mongrel's frame is a 2h7-024978 6/78

                  the guy rebuilt the 79 special on this frame.. after crashing it from what ive found. (eng # 3h3-014788)


                  no wonder im having a hard time getting side covers to fit this thing...

                  on and ol' rusty is 10/78 3h3-003465 eng and frame.

                  Any input as to these ?????

                      Thanks,

                      what im hoping to find is what that frame on the Mongrel is,

                      I'd love to put a left side cover on it again.

                      the ones they guy wrecked and then taped back together, oh and used a sheetrock screw into the lock to hold down.. just dont look right.

                        to find out more on your bike rather than me tell you ,go to www.biker.net ther is a section on the xs 1100s for the usa and canada and the rest,just had a quick look on it and it is a 1100e.you will find that parts of the 2h9(which is what i have got) will fit the 2h7, there is side panel on ebay for the 1100e but i am not sure witch side it is on .

                            78 XS serial number

                            I just bought an old 78 XS11 E model and the serial number on it is 2H7000670. The build date is 9/77 It was complete and running when I bought it, but has now become an organ donor. Anybody need any 'organs'?

                              Side cover

                              Wags, I have a set of side covers for a 78 standard. The only problem is the locking tab is broken off the left one. Let me know if you are interested
