Hey fellas. I have been a member since 05 but, up till now I have just looked at the gallery.
Here goes... I have accumulated 1 running (sorta) xs1100 and two part bikes. I was able to do some slight mods off and on over the last two years. I am finally ready to dig in and try to get a complete running chop bagger. I have some issues with the bike that runs (sorta). it seems to fall on its face in the middle rpm range and it kinda has a sputter put idle. I have never seen a running driving xs1100 before so I dont know what good is. I removed the carbs and rebuilt them. It ran a little better but not much. I think my vacuum advance system is suspect. I hope to have time to verify its operation using my newly acquired clymer manual.
I will try to take some pix soon to let you guys know how big this can of worms is. I hope to turn 3 bikes into two choppers.
later
P.S. I wish you luck fellow new guy.
