hey guys I've posted on here before about an XS2 that a buddy had. well, now it's mine and it's time to start in earnest. I ordered the top tree nut off ebay the other day and that should finish off the frontend issues. The bike was hardtailed by the previous owner and I wanna run a disc rear...

double checking to see if i have the right part number for the top nut for this 72 xs2.... here it is, 90179-25023-00 also do these look like the correct part...

No worries. Thanks though.

Awesome. Thanks man.

once I get the bearings changed out today, i'll double check. but everything I can find in diagram form has a threaded nut and then a large knob with a long bolt that tightens up to the bottom of the stem. numbers 12 - 17 in this pic I believe. found pics of a few XS2's running just number 14...

sorry hard_y_rd, i have the nut that locks the stem and bottom tree to the neck, but not the other one that holds the top tree in place. seems that you dont have to run the dampener, so i may just try Grainger and see if they have something that will work.

OK so before I post this anywhere else. After hours of internet searching, I can't find anyone that sells the nut that holds the top tree to the front-end nor the steering dampener parts. I'll call some local shops today but if no luck, what in the sam hell can i do or use? so frustrated at this...

nah, "anyfucks" was on purpose. In one of the boxes of parts there is a sealed tapered bearing set. one does fit the stem on the bottom. looks like I need to remove the old bearing race from both the stem and neck. after looking up the bearing on AllBalls, they only show 1 bearing in the...

Hey guys. I've posted a couple of questions here already. so I thought I'd finally make a build thread for my buddy's basket case I am helping with. Never messed with an XS. I've had a couple of CB750's and inherited my Pa's 67 Shovel. Anyfucks, here is where we are at presently. Had to dig and...

My bad. I see the cable now that I zoomed in. So that is an XB front wheel?

man, I really dig both versions. I am helping a buddy build a 72 XS2, is the first version running the stock front end and wheel with no brake?

Thanks fredintoon I can weld so it's not that big of a deal to put a new one in. I kinda feel that the motor mounts from factory should always be there. I also won't run without front brakes but what ever. I'll check Mike's and see what he has to offer

OK am I missing a top motor mount on the frame? The motor has a spot for one but none here.

Word. I'll post pics tomorrow. Thanks man
