    When I got married (another mistake) and bought a new car (Escort RS2000) I sold it to my cousin who moved to Emerald in QLD. He sold it to a bloke in Rockhampton who crashed it and we don't know where it went from there.
    Spotie is 100watt made from two different lights. After smashing it on a roo north of Charters Towers in July 78, I fitted two 55watt to the crash bar.
    I still use that Hallmark pack too.

    Shame about your old XS being damaged. Wish i still had my old CB 750 , such a nice bike to ride for me anyway but would be way to heavy for me to use these days.Actually i inquired about it a very long time ago and was informed that it was in a smash , but that's all i was told.
