Steve, This one is welded on but the tube size matches and I do have a 2" coupler lying around. After thinking it over and getting advice I think it would be...
That seems to be the consenses, and what I'll do. Thanks, Don ... probably safer just changing the ball instead of messing with welding on a new coupler. ... ...

Good bikes, the XS1100's. There's an older guy (even older than I am!) near me who has 3 of 'em. He's always puttin' on bigger tanks, or changin' suspension on...

Got my Hard Chrome headers on and they look and sound great. Only problem is the brake assembly on my forward controls hit the headers. Can not bend as it is...
Don, Ok, it just seemed the simpler solution. With cutting and welding, etc. Power and materials, measuring and beer while thinking, you know the deal. steve...
Johh, bummer. I've got Hard Krome full set too...but I've got OEM engine guards with road pegs attached. I did not have your problem. Do you have pix for...

Well...our 1100 has a 140 on the back....I would suggest maybe a 150...measure how much clearence you have on either side on the fender & shocks & see what you...
Yeah, I'm not quite sure what brand I'm gonna go with, probably Bridgestone because of the ease to get them here. Will definitely look at a 150, possibly 160...
I just replaced my rear tire. It had a Bridgestone 150/90-15M/G 74H Spitfire F-11. I give the full description because different tires have different...
Sandy, I got over 12000 on my Bridgestone. It was on the bike when I got it and I put 12000 on it. But the real reason I'm writing is do you need or want a...
