    My Vetter XS1100 Front End Thread

    My Vetter XS1100 Front End Thread

    Can you explain the reason for the fork braces? Is it an XS11 thing? I have all the parts to rebuild my XJ750's front end but haven't started yet (well minus new rotors).

    Goldwings - Looking for info and good forums

    Hey, I might have a chance to buy 1 of 2 '182 Goldwings (no real info yet) if I like them and can afford one. One apparently has a tow-pac style kit on it. I don't know if they are naked, dressed or partially dress yet. So if anyone can link some good forums for early 80's wings I'd appreciate...

    Greetings

    Howdy. Sounds like you all ready have a full vetter set. Grats. Finding hippo hands on ebay is hit or miss and the prices / conditions vary. I snatched 2 (two different versions) NOS off ebay a few years ago. I think I tried one (the velcro slot over mirrors version) for a few minutes but...
