Learning the Ropes
Back in March I traded a mossberg 590 for a 79 xs1100.
My first motorcycle.
It was a pos back then, needed lots of work and sort out a lot of issues, but with months of work it made it from Florida to Ohio on a 2600 mile road trip no problems.
I've always wanted a vetter for it. I loved the look of it, and I liked the frame mount stability over a shield mounted to bars.
I picked up a set of beat up OE saddlebags for it for 15$
I scored a NOS mount, wiring kit, and manual on eBay for 70$ then began searching for the fairing.
I found a mildly abused IV on Craigslist for 40$ and drove an hour and a half to get it
Here's how Excelsior stands today.
