Yeah I'm still a little curious haha....

Hey Dave,

I'm really not sure about this but I need to get some new tires for this spring also so I thought I'd push this post back out to the front page...

hmm i'm glad you said that before I bought the por15.

I like the sound of the imron from dupont but I didn't see anywhere you can buy it but the extreme chassis paint looks pretty decent too.

Wow that's awesome!

I've heard of people por 15'ing some chassis because it's so strong and rust resistant. you sayin otherwise?

I have the same bike with the same color scheme and i think that stock is THE way to go( with maybe the exeption of clubman bars).

I'm pretty close to stock on mine except for my mufflers which ar ...

dusty but nice.

Thanks for the complement

Hello Everyone!

I'm going to start tearing down my '71 XS1B in two days from now and this post is the start of my project over the winter.

I plan on taking the engine out of the frame so I can ...

how much would you want for the two carburetors in the top picture( i think they're bs38s)

Are the XS performance pod filters on mikes(k&n-style filters on 650central) an equal substitute for legit K&n's?

Okay, So I've decided to just go ahead and buy them...

Is the vehicle search on the K and N website accurate to what I need for my bike?

I don't know the diameter of my BS38s intake off the top ...

you did a really nice job on it, it looks great. I'd like to build something similar to that someday but i need the funds to come first

Dude that is incredible looking!

hmmmm I'll probably save my money for those and get them when spring comes around

Thanks Pumps Smile

So i suppose the K and N's are in that range?

I imagine that the K and N's are much better than the stock filters but K and N's are pretty expensive as well right?

What do you think i should do?

I've been running pod filters on my 71 XS1b for awhile but i've heard some controversey about them so i wanted to look into it...

I have the originals( i'm not sure how nice of condition though)... ...

okay, sweet! that makes sence to me.
maybe i'll go look at Oreiley's for one of those

you are talking for regular petcocks right?

I was looking around mikes to see if there is anything I need for my 71 XS1b and i saw this thing:

part number 15-0677..

it looked interesting...

Can you blast the exterior of your engine with baking soda to remove excess grease and grit, etc?

i would think so

I have a 71 XS1b with the stock carbs as well... so you can pm me if you have any questions. i'm still learnin as well though

they were the bronze bushings from mikes xs.. said they for the 71.

I did get them in and have been riding them with no problems since...

hmm, I guess that does make sense.

Now i'm stumped on my left side haha... oh well.

hmm, that's weird.

I used to have an extremely black plug on the right cylinder and i tracked that to a little tear in my carburetors diaphragm...

...changed the diaphragm and that right side i ...
