Description

The bike that I have up for sale regrettably needs to find a new home. The bike has always been properly stored but I rarely ever get a chance to enjoy the bike any longer.

This bike started brand new with my Uncle in 1979, purchased the bike before he passed away. And over the years I transformed the bike from stock to the unique bike you see here.

The bike has an original 24,000 miles, as been garaged all its life and has no negative history whatsoever. The bike has never been beat on and always ridden with the utmost care. The bike has always been properly stored, ut I rarely get a chance to enjoy the bike due to constant travel.

Nothing done to the bike has compromised its safety and all original suspension points are intact. This bike is a joy to ride and gets looks and questions everywhere it goes.

The bike runs very strong due to being a 4 stroke power plant with low miles. And as you can see the bike has been transformed from an otherwise stock XS1100, n the process it lost about 25 pounds so performance is very impressive for a 36 year old bike!
