Venturer

Long Way From Georgia

That's a lot of miles on a bike since Sunday Jeff. Glad you didn't run off the paved road. Looks like it would have been easy to do so. Ride Safe. You guys have fun this weekend.

Float Height

Exhaust

Your 1981 XS1100 uses the Special exhaust. Try to find those. Some of the aftermarket 4 into 1 exhaust are more trouble than they are worth - have to lose center stand, can't get to oil filter.

Stuck

Warm the bike up. Keep rocking it until it frees up. Not uncommon for this to occur.
