Would help if the ad was written in English. I wonder, is he trying to say that a leading link front end comes with it in addition to the one shown in the photos?

The problem with custom tank jobs is that everyone's tastes are so different.

I saw this for sale in Just Bikes or The Motorcycle Trader about six months ago and I still don't get the paint theme. ???

Is he a builder or a domolition worker perhaps?

$7 for a spray can of satin black enamel.

That was on Ebay late February - CLICK (http://xs1100.com.au/forum/index.php?topic=933.0)
for the start price of $6,500. I don't think it got a bid then.

You're right about that point, Brian. The worst bit is that's all he's done to it besides the paint :'( :'( :'(
it's a complete untouched bike till you get to the swingarm, no luxurious seat or better footrests to help compensate for the fact that you've taken the big thrill factor out of the bike.  Might be more attractive if it had an IRS setup with plenty of chrome goodies but to use an old holden EH? diff is really bottom of the barrel stuff. Be interesting to see if it sells this time.

I was very pleased with the old Holden EH when I upgraded from my EJ. ::)

I've got nothing against EH's either, though I am a Ford freak from way back- seems a looong time ago now..
Even if he'd just brightened up the bits he put on, it would look a lot more attractive. I'm not sure even about the tail light spacing. I would have thought they (main roads) would have required them to be closer to the outside of the mudguards.

Got to agree with you Errol.

Here's a thought ??? open that battered old cheque book and show us how this little gem ::) should really look.

Now if only he would take a realistic price for his adulteration ??? ???
