- Not terrible for 200 bucks. Free delivery too! According to the old man, it's been sitting next to the donkey in the barn for about 10-15 years
- Sorry, the bars and tassels had to go...
- I sorted out enough of the electrical issues to get by and was able to get the starter to turn and verified that the ignition coils were okay.
- The primary issue is that the slides, floats, and jets were all gummed up so I pulled the carbs out for a rebuild
- This is my first time rebuilding a set of carbs so fingers crossed! Not sure what the whole plan is for the bike, but step one is to just get it running. Stay tuned!

For some reason my friend calls it El Vaquero. Not sure why but it stuck. Anyways, I'm gonna bring this old heap of an XS1100 back to life!
