      Would have to have wheels on it for me to ride it. Right now its on jackstands. Waiting fork seals and a rear brake M/C kit and tire.

        Sadly, I had to put my XS11's in the shed down the hill for winter. We had snow this morning and momma wants her half of the garage for her car. :-( I do have the Honda ST1300 ready to ride in the garage however. It is depressing as I have tuned the 2 XS11's and they were running fine.

              Hope you were at least able to drain the carb fuel on those two XS11's Sid.

                Yeah, I should do that. Pretty easy on the carbs from the 81H and the viton tipped fuel valve should keep the gas from flowing.

                    On the Road - sort of

                    First time "down the road" with the old girl since 2013 at least. Pretty much an end to end renovation. Still have a few odds and ends to sort out.
