      I think he would get a better response selling plans for a 300 HP XS1100 but looks like a nice clean unit . Doesn't look like he needs a center stand

          i vaguely remember seeing the bike
          a cpl of years ago on the net, i think it a 1500cc xs,
          with all sorts of mods on it,
          i think he called it an xs1500 viper,
          i tried a search but
          cant find anything on it.

            Hi Steve,
            WOW indeed.
            And to think that I went to the trouble and expense of fitting a sidecar so that my XS11 wouldn't fall over.
            Silly me.
