Hello, I am new to the group and am already greatful for the info you all give. So, this bike is a 1977 XS650D with around 24K on the odometer. I last rode it around 1996 when my first son was born. I cleaned the gas tank, rebuilt the petcocks, new fuel line, took apart and cleaned the starter, new starter relay, put in new points and condensor, rebuilt the carbs and it fired right up. I carfully rode it around the yard, just using the back drum brake because the front MC is all cruddied up. So, I want a good front brake. I figure rebuild the mc and the caliper, and replace the lines. There are two hoses to the caliper but I don't see why I could not just use one and eliminate the fitting on the forks. It does not swivel or pivot, so I think it is not needed. Any advice? Also, where to ge the rebuild kits? Also, any additional advice like servicing front forks and replacing the chain would be appreciated. I hope the pics aren't too much.
