Dont use Mike's valves atleast thats the advise Hugh has when you ask him and as far as i know those are the only readily available valves for the xs other than NOS or good used ones from ebay

Hey, txbluecollar. (Got the matching red neck?)
Strongly recommend avoiding any used valves, especially on eBay. A lot of junk there. Couple years ago I bought (for a few bucks, notaproblem) a grab bag of used valves/springs/keepers, just for fun. Sure 'nuff, they were junk. Couldn't see it until I cleaned them up, but have a close look at the crack in this exhaust valve:
And the stem tip of another was beat to death:
