Hey guys, I did search for a bit...but couldnt find anything good.

Omars kit - $295 seems a bit strong. http://omarsdtr.com/stwheel.html

I will check them out, thanks! I have the welding covered too. (I work in the hot rod industry and have a chassis guy lined up to weld it)

Sooo, what side is considered left? Wink

Hey guys,

How can I ID the model year that my carbs came on? I have a '71 with a 74 engine, but I'm unsure of what year the carbs are. I cant get the side covers to fit right....and I ordered the ...

I fin ...

Ok thanks!

I have a 71 XS1B.

My left fork assy is all jacked up. Cant explain what went wrong (as I got this as a basket case freebie from a neighbor), but its damaged internally so I need a new one. 70-71 ...

Oh, that fits XS2, not XS1B like I have Sad

I talked to Mikes, and he should have XS1 and XS1B tubes by year end.

yama: unfortunately Mikes doesn't have tubes for XS1, XS1B XS2. Sad

ay: Thanks, they seem like my only (not cheap!) option. Ive gone this far...so I might as well go for Frank tubes.

Its cracked and they added 2 more holes for a weird luggage rack....the rear fender is really hosed. ITs possible to do what you are saying , but thats def the last possible solution. (chroming is g ...

Hey guys, I need a clean/mint set that has no pitting. I'm really close to getting this resto done! Anyone?

Thanks,

Thanks Taco!

Thanks guys! I was torn on the red vs black badges. The idea is to get the bike 'close enough' esp since the engine doesn't match. (its a '74 engine) The color and stripes are not perfect...but cl ...

Hey guys, I'm almost done with the project. (it has come a LONG way!)
