Refurbishing my "80" Yamaha XS1100 Special for the second time

[rainernst01]

Oh thanks again Randy for sharing your contact person here. I received it now, and I will make it a point that as soon as i have the bike now, I will directly dive down and pay them a visit.

Thanks also Mr. Paul that I feel very much welcome. I have your mechanic's # now.

Be bless everyone.

Its been a long time since he posted that. I put a post on the forum this morning asking who it was, and how to get ahold of the mechanic. Im old, and my memory aint what it used to be!!!

[rainernst01]

Yup, I will Randy. I surf some xs 1100 already, from chopped to bobbers, and I find xs 1100 very awesome, specially the sweet very low cracking sound of the machine. As soon as I purchase the bike and have it customized, its not anymore a problem paying you a visit there in Cebu. I wish also if you can still endorse that guy you are talking to, who has a good mechanic? Thanks again.

That site has saved me from burning this bike!!!!! Any problem you come up with, someone will have an answer. Right now, you have to contact the administrator to join the group formally, but, for your own sake, do it!!!!! The site is invaluable, and is worth its weight in gold!!!!!! Wish I was close to you so I could take a look at the bike youre looking at. I live in Liloan, Cebu. I have also been contacted from a guy on the site that lives in Manila and has a good mechanic

Hello, I just wanna ask, where do you usually buy parts for the bike? I am kinda hesitate a second hand XS 1100 I saw coz Yamaha cant help me on my queries bout parts? Hope you will lighten me up.

[RandyKofahl]

@rainernst01 I am in the Philippines, and I have to order a number of my parts from the states and have em shipped here. Here is a website dedicated to XS1100. You can join the site, its free, its just a forum, and all the guys there can answer your question better than me. Almost all parts the the XS1100 can be bought in the states. The site is xs11.com

Nice job, Randy, The perfect tourer.I had a Burgundy *78 from new and I'd buy another in a heartbeat, if I could find a good, clean, standard one. Cheers from LieLand. (Thailand).

Looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Nice!

Randy.. looks great but I thought you were in Bohol did you leave that beautiful Island?

[RandyKofahl]

Nope, Ive never lived there!!! We almost moved to Ormoc, Leyte, but chose not to as I have so many friends here now, and the fact that I know a number of mechanics also!!
