I have owned & ridden my xls ´83 for 12 years. I have done a lot of work on it over the years. I rebuilt the motor, made the exhaust, replaced (fabed) the frame under the engine (it was rusted out), up´ed the final drive gearing to accomodate highway riding. I take the bike on 1000+ mile rides. If you havn´t noticed, there aren´t many out there! The model is slightly rare I think.
