    Are they different?

    Hopefully someone here can help me out with this. I see that Mike's has fork tubes for '72-73, but will they fit XS1 or 1b? If not, would anyone know where I can source a set of fork tubes for a '71, new or used but nice? Looks like Frank's is out of business temporarily. Thanks in advance...

The motor was rebuilt with 3rd oversize pistons, and the head was mildly ported. Suspension upgrades...

    Here are some additional pictures of my 1980 "Special Two", soon to belong to Madmax-im. I bought this bike in sad shape with a seized engine for cheap, but it had a title.

    I don't know if two bikes can be nominated for the same person, but I'd like to add this one. The "Special Two" is a nice bike, but I really like this one better. Cafefill

    No problem.

    Petcocks ?

    The petcock did indeed come from Mikes. I purposely left the intake boots with the vacuum ports there, as has already been said, to sync the carbs. And yes, I turn the petcock off when parked, also for the aforestated reason. Personally, and not to hurt anyone's feelings here, but reserve is...

    For sale- my lovingly restored '80 Special II. This was a frame up restoration with no piece left untouched. Top end rebuilt on the engine, all aluminum polished, most chome pieces rechromed. I have ridden this bike a few years, and it has gained just a bit of "patina" since the restoration, but...
