    Just bought another middle drive off fleabay $20 delivered off a bike with less than 10k miles. Stock 1100 though, not the 750/850. Still cheaper to replace them than fix them. In another 30 years.. who knows. Hopefully I'm around to care about it. lol.
    What do you mean 750/850? You aren't thinking of the final drive are you? I ask because I installed a middle drive once that I got off of fleabay. It looked almost exactly like the xs11's, except it was lacking one bolt hole - I think it was one that goes through the cover plate. The damn thing did work, but it leaked oil (not much) through the gasket mating area. I suspect it was from an xs750 or an xs850.

      I thought I was gonna die on the freeway that day riding through that storm at those speeds unable to see anything. It sucked but hey we all got together again in Tennessee didn't we?

        Yeah, after a few hours riding down the back road to hell in the dark. I couldn't even tell which side of the road I was on most of the time.

              Ha ha ha.......seemed like it with the rain on the windshield and faceshield in total darkness on a 2 lane twisty road. When headlights came toward me it was like looking in a kaleidoscope.
