As far as I know. I am not aware of them having different clutch covers but like I said this is my first xs2 so there is a lot for me to learn, the earliest one I have owned before this was a 77

They are continentals, not sure if that is what was original on them. If those are the right gauges it wouldn’t surprise me with only 6k. Can someone confirm if those are the correct gauges?

Ya the disc is what tipped me off, I wasn’t sure what the wheel was supposed to look like. I will probably keep the existing carbs on it and see if I can manage to get the side covers to fit with them. Upon further inspection it appears the switch housings are wrong too as there is no mount...

I know this is a super old thread, but you don’t happen to still have this do you?

Well the bike finally showed up. It’s condition is about what I was expecting so I’m happy with that. The tank unfortunately doesn’t have the original paint under the black spray job, it does have it in the tunnel (which obviously doesn’t help much) it came with a bunch of different seats and...

Dido, I need the seat too!

But I would have to change side covers, is that right?

Well I knew I would have to spend some money on this ting to make it right so I’m not to worried about that part (not that I have any money, but that has never seemed to stop me before) but I do want to make it as original as possible, so if the carbs won’t work with the stock side covers (which...

I’m not familiar with the mikes carbs but I had a Niki I carb on a sportster so that last year, it could sit for weeks and not leak a drop, go out and ride it for a bit and it would just pour gas out the overflow. I found what looked like some insects nest in the vent for the float bowl, blew...

Nice looking bike, but a real bummer when someone chops up an early xs. I’ve chopped a couple but nothing older than an 81. Well I guess it makes my recently acquired xs2 a little more valuable even in its current state. Kidding aside, I’m with the others. If he can’t get the bike running...

Can you really put a price on happiness???

Well I may have scored, seems there are two xs2 seat pans with the bike so that’s a win but upon inspection of another picture I had of the bike I’m thinking it doesn’t have the original carbs on it (surprise surprise). I’m thinking maybe 76-79 bs-38s, does that look right to anyone else, also...

I’m not picking it up, but my buddy is delivering it with all the xs parts he has so I can still try them on for size. And if something needs welded I can do that with my rig machine. Thank you! I gotta update my profile, it says North bend which is on the coast next to coos bay, a real shit...

Hey guys, hopefully the bike will be here this weekend (or the following weekend, hopefully sooner I’m getting excited). So then I can get a better idea of what I’m working with and I will post some better pictures. I’m curious if there is an easy well to tell an xs2 seat pan from any other...

Medford Oregon here

Looks awesome, I’m just about to start cleaning up an xs2 I just acquired. Can you recall the paint brand and colors you used?

Ok cool. The bike will probably be here in about two weeks or so when he drives up with it from Nevada, so when it gets here I will take an inventory and I might be hitting you up, thanks

Man, I didn’t even think of that! God, now you have gotten my hopes up. That will be the first thing I do. Thanks Fred!

Thankfully no, I thought so too at first so he sent me some other pictures from the back with those two seat removed. It is all there and uncut

The bike hast arrive yet so I’m not positive on all things that I need but he did say it was complete except for the seat. So if u have one or any leads on one let me know.
