Hello all, I hope everyone here is doing well. First of, I would like to say thanks to each one of you, I´ve been working on a 1975 XS650B and all your posts, discussions, questions, tips, tricks and even fights have helped a lot hahaha. Its been almost 6 months since I found my new love sitting in a garage waiting for someone to bring her back to life. And daaaamn its been hell all along but the good type of hell you know? Ive been learning soooo much.
Well, since I´m in Mexico City, finding parts is a little bit difficult. There´s not much of a restoring culture here, its more like a "whatever makes it run is fine" haah. So must of my new parts were imported but this waiting game in order to receive spare parts made me think I could fabricate one or two of them, and that´s what I would like to share with you. I managed to replicate the clutch push screw housing in order to be 3D printed, maybe this file will help anybody here. I also created a file for laser cutting BS38 carb gaskets, I found aftermarket quality pretty bad so decided to cut my own kits. (Note here: I adjusted some wholes on the gasket for a perfect centered fit with the carb ducts.) I also designed a carbon holder in case someone needs it, and a complete choke lever. You can 3D print these parts using PETG filament.
Despite of being 3D printed and maybe some of you guys wont like it, these parts have been working flawlessly and are useful to keep the motorcycle running at least as new parts arrive. So, that´s my way of saying thank you for sharing so much knowledge. Feel free to contact me for the files.
