    Information Request Midnight Special

    Hi folks,

    I'm on the look out for a Midnight Special to bring back to Australia.

    Are there any Gurus out there who can give me information of things like;
    Authentic serial numbers?
    Differences between the LG and LH?
    Which model was the best (Subjective of course) opinions wanted?
    Ball park figure for one in good condition?

    I'm in the military and have 2 years to realise my ambition to own an XS1100 MNS.

    Cheers
