I have an old 93 883 xl, rigid frame......I just put a S3 motor in it and ran at the texas mile....

I managed 140 mph in 3 of 7 runs......was pretty proud of her...

Last weekend I went 1/4 mile racing and posted 11.9 at 112 mph.....

Working on getting her a little better, but I am leanring fast....

I have been lurking in the XL forum more or less......I did find the Buell motor in the swap here.....

Not much of the original bike left:
tank
fork tubes
brakes
frame neck
that's about it.....

welcome to the forum Al......

140 mph and 11.90 are pretty respectable numbers......

but I thought '91 was the best year
