At least the rear seat rail is still there (or does the original have a kick-up?) but is it de-tabbed? Are you planning on cafe-ing it properly or a stocker?---- Dave

The rear rail is there but the frame has been half assed de-tabbed. I wanted a stocker and try to restore, but I'll save that for my next bike build. This one already has a modern front end (bandit), and has been chopped up so I was just gonna get a clean seat, new rubber, paint, and just enjoy the powerful 1100. Not really into the whole "cafe" "bobber" "rat" thing, I was never a fan of labels, but I do tend to gravitate to the cafe look.
I'm new to the 2 wheel world, but I'm a former Expert Certified Tech for Toyota (I work in IT now) so I know my way around a shop and tools. I hate hack job anything, so I'm pouring all my expertise and love into this project. It's a learning process, but I wanted to tackle this to grow as a technician. It's frustrating at times cause I want everything done the right way, but again I'm really just doing it for the love. I'll have a build thread going once my parts arrive. My dad had a 550 growing up so when I came across this ad and offered him my lowest price and he accepted, I picked it up and rode it home. It really brings back some good old memories. Not gonna lie, I didn't expect this 1100 to be as fast as it is. Surprised me!Last edited by Guest; 06-26-2015, 08:58 AM.

In the "the more you cut off the more it's worth" group....
Love the rear fender. Hope he makes it to the next PNW rally

Given the mileage and transmission is utterly wrong, it's getting better and better to snap up a bargain.---- Dave

Can't save them all - I'd have that one if it were nearer, though. It hacks me off when a reasonably well cared-for bike falls into the hands of a butcher.---- Dave
