Hi I've been working on this xs1b and did a compression test left side 140 but the right side just won't register at all. What's next? Any help is appreciated

Restoring a 71 xs1b need side covers please

Well she finally came free!!! With out plugs in it kicks through good compression. I need a new battery and replacement lines and hoses does anyone have a good place to get them?

Here's some more pics

I know it's going to be a big and long job, I do have a few people that can help me with alot of it i just want to make sure to take my time and do my research so that I dont make anything worse. I have alot of time and I like working on cars "never restored anything just making beaters last "...

No it didnt turn just skidded to stop It gave me about a foot or so I could roll front to back but stopped

Raymundo I'm looking to get it as close to original as I can without spending to much. It was stored inside so theres really not a lot of rust on it. The handle bars and side panels I haven't found yet they may be gone. I agree the handle bars do seem a little flimsy.

I tried pushing it forward a little in 3rd then put it in neutral and kick start is still jammed. So I removed plugs and hit it with some pb blaster and some marvel mystery oil an let it sit what should be my next step?

I got a 71 xs1b from a family friend it has been sitting for about 20 years. I'm brand new to bikes. I need to know everything I need to check before I can get it running again. The kick start is stuck also any help is appreciated
