This is a bike I bought from Craigs List that someone had posted in the market watch section. I think I got a good deal on it 
And here she is sitting at the shop where I work. |

Nice find. Be careful it does not get crushed by one of those VERY BIG pieces of equipment you have in that shop! |

That's why it's tucked in the corner directly outside my office window so I can look at it all day! |

Nice find. Good luck with it.
If you stumble upon a sidecover in decent shape you should grab it. They don't show up that often. |

Do I see Claas and New Holland machinery?
Nice bike! By the looks of it you just need a side cover and you're good to go! |

Yes, I am the service manager at a New Holland dealership. We also are dealers for Claas/Lexion products.

I think so too. The bike starts a little hard cold but idles fine. And the best part is it charges! I dont know if I have bought one of these bikes before that actually does that!
The seller made mention of a problem getting the bike into 5th gear but the few times I have ridden it I haven't had any problems. I did get the clutch to slip once though, so maybe he is referring to that. |

Hey Grimmace, I just looked at the Ebay side cover, and I bet a hair dryer will remove the sticker, no problem. The left side cover on my 900 is missing the same mount tab as this one is, and I use velcro to hold a metal bolt in place that takes the place of the tab, no troubles. If you need, drop me a PM, and I'll send photos of my setup. Could be a low cost solution to the missing cover on your beautiful 1100! |
