    See what happens when you look in the want adds...

    I just can't stop looking. Happened to see and add for an 81 XS1100 Special and the owner wanted to trade for a smaller bike. My son had an 82 450 Nighthawk so he contacted the seller and arranged a meeting. After meeting and test rides, the deal was done!! We swapped bikes(and a little cash) and we bring this beauty home.




    Needs a new front tire and the straight pipes are way too loud! We have already removed the old pipes and put a 4 to 1 on it sounds much better now.

    I opened her up in first and second gear and I think I need to do the proper repairs on those gears. Still it was a good trade.
