    My XS11



    This is what she looked like when I got her. (best 400$ I've ever spent)



    An this is her now, after I put the stock bars back on, and added some saddle bags. And fixed the minor mechanical issues that kept her from running when I bought her. Seller clearly didn't know what he had. I honestly believe this is the best purchase I have ever made in my life.

        Don't listen to him Kev. He's a North Dakotan.

        We have kinda the same tast Kev but I'm more old school with the highback seat.

          I definitely want a different seat. Mine looks like a couch cushion sitting on a fender when you see it from the back. It is comfortable though. Hopefully when I get my sissy bar and luggage rack itll make it look a little better lol

                    Oh, I thought you had an XS11 not a Hardley.

                        Oh yeah, here we go. Two young wippersnappers with NON RUNNING bikes giving the OLD MAN with the GOOD running bike a hard time.

                        I'll honk and wave as I'm riding through your towns.

                              If it wouldnt cost me over 400 bucks in fuel, I would drag it out there just to get it to run again! And bring you the shiny walker the previous owner of my house left behind
