Hah! I thought that was my bike for a second. Definitely worth it. Probs a '78/'79. Not original mufflers, but still a great snag. Headlight cowl is worth the extra.1979 XS1100F

Take it bro, it looks complete. Don't forget, usually nothing big really breaks on these bikes, just minor stuff.2H7 (79) owned since '89

Absolutely worth it!! That looks like an amazing start to me. And a standard model, which seem to be rare as hens teeth around these parts of the world.
Of course pics always make it look much better than all the cruddy, rusted crap your going to find once you start digging, but still, how could it not be worth it!!Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

Standards ( and all XS's) are ALWAYS worth the time and effort to bring back to their former glory. Go for it. I really would, too, if it were local to me! I don't know how guys get wind of these bikes, I never have had one sort of fall into my lap. That is the only way SWMBO would allow 2 in our garage.

Hi Ian,Originally posted by IanDMacDonald View PostAdjust your monitor Fred, lol. Looks like a fantastic shade of yellow to me
dunno about that.
I reckon if one photo shows a bike's paint as light orange and the photo right below it shows the same bike's paint as yellow
(fantastic shade of notwithstanding) the problem ain't at my end.Fred Hill, S'toon

Sorry about that Fred. It's just the lighting of whatever is shining light on the bike, i.e. (sun, security light, etc.) I have almost the same exact color on my bike from PPG: Dynamite Yellow.Originally posted by fredintoon View Post1979 XS1100F
