I just went and looked at a old Yamaha 1100 it is supposed to be a 1978 and the VIN has me confused. 2H7-008792 (etched on the engine). All I can find is a 2H8 at all for a Yamaha anything It has a few issues like surface rust on all the chrome and a rear brake that has the cylinder froze up but it is pretty much all there and does turn over and doe seem to have compression. Before I dig it out and spend all my time and money on it I would like to know more about what it actually is. I already read that some of the 78's were actually made in 1979 for instance. It has leaky carbs but seems to have ran recently. The original gas tank is there but not the one on the bike currently. email me if you want to see the few pics I have. [email protected]
