Well it's still needs a little work but it's ridable. Still need to replace the mufflers (looking for some Sporters) and this winter I will media blast the engine to clean that up.
I have another daughter getting married in October.
Looks like the 78E will be getting done this winter. (After I get my wife's XJ1100 done then MY XJ1100 )

Beautiful! I like the paint job you did. Hope they ride the wheels off her. Shame to see it get traded for a used harley. Nice build.80 XS1100G Black Betty (Daily Driver)

Hmm, maybe I'll have to try this then. It'd be much cheaper than doing 2k urethane like I normally do.Originally posted by natemoen View Post1979 XS1100Comment
