Hey Shep, does your buddy want to restore a bike to original condition or would he be interested in a modified bike? I ask because my GS650 needs the top end done, and some transmission work (it occasionally pops out of gear if accelerating hard in 2nd). I loved doing the fabrication work, but mechanical stuff I just endure as a necessary part of this hobby. I'd let it go as is for $2k
How ambitious of a project does he want? I have not yet tied into the XS1100 you gave me. It is still registered in your name. I figure its still yours until I hit it with the angle grinder. I have tossed out the fairing, seat, panniers and mufflers and gave the tank to Rusty (or should I say, gave a rusty tank to Russel). What I have is a great platform for my trike project or maybe another mono-shock cafe racer. There is lots of potential in this bike. I will likely dig into it this fall.
Peace & Grease, Dennis
