LOCKDOWN REBUILDS XS 1 TX AND SPECIAL

Hi Wings

I am also in Blighty (Midlands), restoring a XS1B. the whole bike is stripped to component level including the engine. I have to go 2nd oversize on the cylinders. I have received 2nd oversized pistons kit (256) from Mikes XS today. They didnt send the piston rings. I hope they get them out ASAP bloody frustrating especially as I have already paid the import duty. I am rambling!! Any way nice to know there is a fan not too far from me.

Hi Trigger,
those cheap bastards sell the rings separately. You certain-sure the piston order included the rings?
If so, start the phone calls, eh?.
 
Hi Wings, if you are thinking of buying one of the sets of stainless bolts off eBay etc, I I wouldn’t buy them unless I could see them first, the quality of the ones I’ve seen that other people was pretty crap, I also bought a set from the UK for a different bike some years ago and had to throw half of them out, better to go to a decent bolt supply shop with a list, unless another member can recommend a source for decent sets?
