I had almost exactly the same thing a couple of weeks ago, with the exception that the tube would go in 2" short of bottom. Legs were powder coated but one was rubbish so had it redone. Am guessing they had to "burn" it off in the oven and it warped the leg slightly. I got over it by carefully...

That's too bad but now we know. By how much does it not fit? Too long, wide etc? Could you post up a pic of both side by side with dimensions? Would help a lot on this sort of query.

Sorry, not got a drill to show you gggGary but I have thought about getting another one made for the 8mm Xs spindles. We had ones to do carbs with spindles sizes of 1/4", 5/16", 7mm & 8mm which was the vast majority of the carbs we did and those split DU bushes are readily available in many...

So, in the States anyhow, these are much cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181342090887?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D181342090887%26_rdc%3D1 Will see if I can find some in the UK Seems it is Keihin part number 8353112 but this needs to be...

Double post? PM'd ya.

I have a spare. Items 27 & 29 together (as they come). I'll PM you.

I used to use long series 10mm drill bits that we had a tool maker grind down so the cutting end would guide in the other side. The grind was down to a couple of thou under 8mm and to a length of maybe 100mm. This left a nice square face which, once drilled to bush depth plus a few thou, would...

I remember seeing a post some time ago where someone did find a compatible tipped needle valve but I cannot for the life of me find it now. Maybe have a search for Viton tipped valves as this is the best material for the job. Allen's performance, in Notts, may be able to help? Hope this is of...

Stainless silencers which are copies of 2 types of the originals are available from Rudiger Paustian at http://shop.xs650shop.de/front_content.php?idcat=18 although I'm not sure how many they sell at that price. Your down pipes do well when they turn up on eBay but the price goes up and down...

Nice, I like it. Street tracker front/cafe rear. Local shop has seen better days tho'. Oh, and welcome to the site shellshock.

Is this the sort of thing you are after? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-SR500-Battery-Eliminator-QZ33070-/310610949304?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item4851daf4b8 Hope it helps.

This might help. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/1972/XS2/FRONT+WHEEL+%28XS2%29+TX650/parts.html

Another option is it may be possible to convert your taps to manual operation. http://www.yamahatriples.com/index.php/how_tos/vacuum-to-manual-conversion/ Hope it helps.

Electrex World Ltd has had in their catalogue for a few years (unless I'm thinking of the other stator kit STK-465). Often wondered if anyone has tried it but never heard of anyone that did. Company been around for some time and I know some guys here have used Electrex World reg/recs for their...

Are they the same on all front wheels? I have a few of the original ones that also used a dished washer. If you still need one (or a couple) PM me your address. Hope this helps.

They are here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/L-K-Yamaha-XS650-XS-650-Spares-New-Second-Hand-L-K-/231127598703?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item35d047466f Hope it helps.

There is this one but it is going up in price. Got to love a guy that just puts a £1 bid in. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221344645118?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I'll swap that TX750 rear wheel for an XS650 one if you go for it!

This could be true or you have the same problem I have had before and need to file a little off the end of the bolt. As long as it tightens up against the washer and is in the hole you will be good to go. Now get out of the garage and down the pub, you only have an hour left.

Apologies, link amended above.

These guys do have 533 pistons but you need to ask them and make sure before ordering. I have heard only good things about them, including fast shipping. This set is not what you want by the way...
