Last week the alternator went out on my 05 Buick LaSaber. A new one at AutoZone was around $140. I decided to try my luck at the Bone Yard for $35. Well it lasted five days. So I took it off the car (very easy job) to return it for a hopefully better one. Meanwhile I've been riding the 850 to work. So after work I was riding to the yard and then my wheel spline decided to strip out on me. Luckily I was close to a friends house so I could park my motorcycle there. I called my friend Bob to ask him if he could take me to the junk yard, he said no problem. The problem was by the time he got off work to pick me up the junk yard would be closed. No problem, just give me a ride home and I'll figure out how to get to work the next day. I looked at my 1100, it looked at me. Well lets see if you will start( it hasn't been ridden since last summer) I turned the fuel on, checked the oil level. I hit the starter button, after a couple of revolutions it fired up! It fired up like it was happy to be called into service! This morning it was cold 36° the 1100e loves cool weather, it ran so crisp and clean. I made it to work in record time. So after work I'm going back to the bone yard to try and get a good alternator. If not I know I can rely on the ol'1100 to take me where I need to go, and in fine fashion too
