here's an xl i picked up at billing - haven't really done much to it, given the paintwork a quick polish. all the chrome needs quite a bit of attention  |

I think we must have the majority of the surviving XLs on this forum. ;D That's a cracker and bearing in mind these bikes are 25+ years old, the original chrome looks great, even if close up some pitting is evident. A definite thumbs up from Il Capitano.   |

my brother's the new custodian of this cracker - it'll be used to take him to and from work  and maybe to the pub on occasion! going to need some pretty serious wirewooling and maybe a magic wand to get the chrome looking really smart capitano!  i paid more than £0 but less than £100 wayne, but the wheeler dealing was a bit more complicated....  |
