1979 Yamaha XS1100 "Rat Bike," $600

I bought it last summer, never got around to messing with it. The guy I bought it from put the 4-into-2's and pods on it, I guess the stock pipes rotted out. He rejetted it, but way too rich, apparantly, as it fouls plugs. I have a new set of plugs, the original airbox, and the original carb jets for it, as well as the plastic sidecovers, and some other misc parts... but no gauges. Seat pan is rusted. Rear caliper drags. Titled, in my name, and non-opped. If I can't get $ for this monster, I'll just keep it and buy some earplugs!

Update! It runs, and the tranny is good. New brake pads. Still needs a battery and carb adjustment. $600.

Checkit, I shot video of the thing running, (fouled plugs and all!) Saturday 3/18/06...

The clip doesnt do it justice, its freakin' LOUD with those 4-into-2's...

But yeah, notice it stalls out when I let the choke back out.

Thats the start switch, hanging down by the "emergency kickstarter" shaft. No, I dont have the kicker.

Damn rain...




Beer Keg, small 1/4 barrel, perfect "GOLDCHAINERROCKERBILLYRATROD" gas tank... $30
