I have a 71 XS1B.

y 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 are the only ones that will work, right?

Thanks guys!!

Correct, they are the only ones with the drum brake. They come up on ebay now and then but not very often, and the bobber guys seem to like them because of the drum. Be prepared to shell out some coin for a set.
