I know I am not in the right category but I am trying to save an xs1100 motor from the scrap yard! Turned it over today and its free where it was previously believed to be stuck. Does anyone need one? I'm in Nebraska and would take $125 cash (starter, carbs not included) and I will likely leave it in the frame. I guess I could part down to heads, block, ect if needed but would rather sell intact to someone who needed it. thanks guys. nebraskajeff@gmail.com

C'mon Guys
Damn guys, thought someone would want this, guess not! Name your price and come get her before I sell it as "dirty aluminum" for 13 ¢ a pound
Anyone need anything off it let me know...we can work something out
PS--- It is out of the frame and ready to go!

I'd hate for it to go to waste as well, but I've got several spares already. If you do decide to scrap it, there are a few things I'd be interested in like the shims, valves, and gears... But it probably wouldn't be worth your time to get to them.
I've bought a couple motors.. one for $40 and one for $50, but I knew they were in decent shape. This one is a ??? Still.. hate to see another one scrapped.Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

Hi Jeff,Originally posted by neJeff View Post
I'm so far away that the shipping would kill the deal.
But leave it in the frame?
That frame got a title?
Seen many a tearstained post on this list about the DMV Nazis refusing to title a bike.
Perhaps you could re-word the ad?Fred Hill, S'toon
