WTB:XS1100 passenger Backrest

[Ccitis]

Hey All,

Wife loves riding the back of the XS, in fact it is her fav that I have in the stable right now. She would love a backrest though. If any one can point me towards one I would appreciate it.

[Schming]

I'll check my stash and get back to you.

Would this work for you?

I have this K&G rear rack back rest combination shown mocked up on my '79SF if you're interested. I believe it will adjust for either Standard or Special.

[DiverRay]

You didn't post if you have the standard or special, and what year. Standard will fit all years Standards. Specials are different! 1979 is a "one year only" on the rack or backrest. 1980 and later are all the same.
The K&G that Schming is showing should fit almost all the models, as well as a few other bikes.

[Ccitis]

Sorry, it is an 80 Standard. Pic below... That K&G looks pretty dang sweet. This forum seems to have all the answers! Larrym It is running a heck of alot better. I found that it was cylinder 3 that was lean, and I have backed out the mixture screw a turn and a bit and my popping seems to have stopped! I won't mess with it anymore. I have a few bikes in the garage, and for the odd ride the wife enjoys, she really likes the old XS. I don't know if it has the pull of a fighter jet yet lol, but perhaps I am not pouring on all the coal! I also get spoiled from the flat torque curve on my Triumph 1200... can't keep the front wheel down on that one.

Hi Schming, When I had that problem, I found out that I had to delete the messages in the trash folder also. Hope that helps. Bob
