    My 1st XS1100

    Just bought my first XS1100.
    A 1980 Midnight Special.
    Doesn't run yet, 20k miles.
    I'm so excited I could spit.
    Just wanted to express myself.
    Cheers

          Good Job! This site is the best on the net for these bikes. The community is way more helpful than many of the sites I have read in the past.

          Glad to see another rider in this neck of the woods.

              welcome, check out all of the tech tips before you start anything. Lots of great info here, and makes you sound like you know what you are talking about when you ask questions.

                  Congrats. I will also be getting my first XS1100F in a few days. Doesn't run but with the help of this list she will. Its going to be a labor of love

                      New owner also...

                      I too just purchased my first bike which, of course, if a 78 XS 1100.

                      Needless to say, I know exactly how you feel about wanting to get it running and on the road. For me, owning this bike is a 5 year dream realized.

                      See you on the road...
