After months of looking at this one and negotiating... Finally settled on a price and tool a 4+hr trip with truck and trailer to get it. Long day driving 8-9 hours but well worth it.
Picked it up today from the 85 year old original owner. 1979 Xs1100 Special with 11,755 miles. Pretty much perfect. Small cowl windshield, full size windshield, a genuine King and Queen seat along with factory original factory service manual, various paperwork and the original title in his name from 1979. Very happy with this bike.
He added the extra red brake lights and shorter/custom
Front turn signals (thinks he has the OEM units in basement and I'll get in a couple weeks). He added a throttleock, different mirrors and Grips (I think) and even installed a cutoff toggles witch for rear lights and a pushbutton switch to kill headlight (makes starting easier), and a really nice exhaust (period correct) but otherwise stock unmolested never been damaged or repaired bike.
