HELLO,
WELCOME TO THIS LISTING FOR MY BEAUTIFUL XV1100 BOBBER.
I WOULD START WITH THE BAD POINTS BUT THERE AREN'T ANY :)
SO, BIT ABOUT IT.
IT IS 1986 YAMAHA XV1100 (VIRAGO).AS YOU CAN SEE IT NO LONGER LOOKS LIKE ONE OR GOES AND SOUNDS LIKE ONE. IT WAS GOOD RUNNING BIKE BUT NEEDED THE CLUTCH REPLACING AND GOT BIT CARRIED AWAY ;) SO AFTER HELL OF LOT OF WORK HERE IT IS.
WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE..
THE FRAME HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO GIVE THE NICE SHORT COOL BOBBED LOOK.NEW STARTER GEARS FITTED (A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THESE) AND NEW STARTER MOTOR WAS FITTED.OBVIOUSLY FULL SERVICE WAS CARRIED OUT.I DIDN'T WANT TO GO DOWN THE USUAL ROUTE OF MAKING SIDE PANELS SO GOT GUY KNOW WHO IS LEATHER SPECIALIST TO MAKE ONE OFF SET OF SADDLE BAGS INSTEAD. NOW THE WIRING, RESERVE TANK ETC IS COVERED AND THERE IS SOMEWHERE TO KEEP YOUR PHONE, KEYS, SANDWICH ETC. ALSO THEY LOOK ACE.A NEW REAR MUDGUARD WAS MODDED AND FITTED.A NEW LOOM WAS MADE TO DO AWAY WITH THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICS THAT COME ON THESE AS STANDARD. WHILE DOING THIS HIDDEN IGNITION SWITCH WAS FITTED AS WELL AS OTHER THINGS.THE EXHAUSTS WERE MODIFIED AND SOUND LOVELY. THESE WERE AFTERMARKET ONES AND IN GREAT CONDITION. THE WRAP ISN'T HIDING ANYTHING, IT'S THERE BECAUSE LOVE THE LOOK OF IT.LOTS OF POLISHING HAS BEEN DONE.THE PAINT WAS DONE BY LOCAL PAINT SHOP. THE PHOTO'S ARE LONG WAY FROM DOING IT JUSTICE. IT IS JAGUAR COLOUR AND IN THE SUN LIGHT IT IS DEEP AND SPARKLES AMAZINGLY.
I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT ALL THE WORK DONE TO IT BUT WON'T BORE YOU, SO HERE IS MORE OF THE WORK..
NEW TYRES,NEW CLUTCH,NEW CLUTCH CABLE,NEW STARTER GEARS,NEW STARTER MOTOR,NEW SEAT,NEW BARS.NEW ONE OFF SADDLE BAGS,NEW GRIPS,NEW MIRROR,NEW OIL,AIR FILTER AND NEW PLUGS,NEW FORK SEALS,NEW REAR MUDGUARD,NEW REAR LIGHT AND MOUNT,NEW INDICATORS,NEW SPEEDO,NEW BATTERY,NEW LOOM,NEW NUMBER PLATE, (HORRIBLE BIG YELLOW ONE INCLUDED INSTEAD OF THE BLACK AND SILVER FOR 'SHOW' USE ONLY ONE FITTED)
THE CARBS WERE STRIPPED AND CLEANED, ALONG WITH THE BRAKES.
             IT WILL COME WITH FULL 12 MONTH MOT.
SO, TO SUM IT UP, BEAUTIFUL ONE OFF BIKE WITH HUGE AMOUNT OF WORK DONE, THAT LOOKS AMAZING, SOUNDS AMAZING AND IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN. TOTALLY RELIABLE AND READY FOR SUMMER FUN (IF WE GET SUMMER)
I SUPPOSE YOU ARE ASKING YOURSELF WHY AM SELLING IT IF IT'S JUST BEEN COMPLETED AND IS SO NICE. WELL, HAVE FEW OTHER PROJECTS TO BE GETTING ON WITH AND LIKE TO TRAVEL, 99% OF THE TIME UP SO THIS ISN'T THE IDEAL BIKE FOR THAT. HAVE GOLDWING FOR THAT WORK.
THE PRICE IS MORE THAN GOOD ONE FOR THIS BIKE, IT HAS COST MORE THAN THAT TO BUILD. YOU WON'T PARK BY ANOTHER ONE (UNLIKE THE NEW TRIUMPH BOBBER THAT HAS JUST COME OUT, HORRIBLE THING IT IS).
RIGHT, BORING STUFF...
NO TEST RIDES WITHOUT THE FULL AMOUNT OF CASH IN MY HAND AND PROOF OF INSURANCE.
PLEASE, NO TIME WASTERS. IF YOUR FUN IN LIFE IS MESSING PEOPLE ABOUT ON HERE THEN YOU NEED TO TAKE SERIOUS LOOK AT YOUR LIFE AND GET OUT MORE.NO DON'T WANT YOUR OLD KNACKERED CAR,BIKE,VIDEO GAME,GRANDMA,ETC, IN PART EX. NO ARABIAN PRINCES WHO WILL WIRE THE MONEY TO MY ACCOUNT (DO PEOPLE REALLY GO FOR THAT.?)
WELL, IF YOU ARE STILL HERE THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THROUGH ALL THIS.
CHEERS... JON
