George

    I believe you guys are the ones to contact regarding XS1100's.

    I have one that I will be putting on the market soon but am wondering if you know of anyone who may be interested.  It is a 1982 model and I would be looking at $2500.00.  If I was to fix it I would be asking a lot more.

    It is a project bike i.e. it is not running.

    I have had it for the past 5/6 years and have not had the time to get it going.  I purchased it from a guy in Sydney who had it in his shed for about 8-10 years.  During that time it ended up with a stuck valve in the open position.  I am just pleased that when I looked at it after I purchased it I did not try to start it.  When I first bought it I took the plugs out and squirted some lubricant in the cylinders and turned it over by hand.  It was then that I found that it had a stuck valve.  It could be a simple fix by removing the rocker cover and hitting the valve with a blunt instument - hammer. It may spring back into position.

    I did purchase a new top end gasket kit for it and a few other items i.e. air cleaner, new rear tyre fitted etc.  The brakes need work i.e. I did disconnect the rear caliper as it was binding.  I have too many other projects taking priority.  This one needs to go to a new home.

    Please let me know if you know of anyone who may be interested.

Regards

General Discussion / Xs1100 seat differences

Hi all
Just a question regarding seats. I notice some xs1100 have a flat seat, others have a stepped seat. Are they all interchangeable? Is the sub frame the same for all models?
