Hi Guys, Correct part # is 447-84345-00-00. Was told that 447-84345-60-00 "will work", "is the same", "superceeds", etc. It's not the same and won't work. Does anyone know where I can get two 447-84345-00-00 or know of an alternative? Thanks!

Hi Guys, Am restoring my '75 XS650 to showroom. The grease ftgs. on it look to be brass. I needed and got one "NOS" for "my bike" online from Speed and... But it looks to be anodized black. Does anyone know if the brass are OEM and if so, where to get the Real McCoy. Thanks
