I found #10 zinc plated spring clips at a building supply for 15 cents each. A day of acrylate should ensure their continued retention. Thanks for your help! Ben

Thanks Fred, I think I will go with the original style fasteners, but may utilize something such as a dab of epoxy to supplement if I feel that the fastener might fail. My concern is that I or some future younger custodian have an opportunity to dismantle the attached pieces should they need to.

Thank you!

Hello to all! Trying to complete a restoration started by a PO. Can someone please take a photo of the inside of their side cover and post it so that I may see what the clips look like? There are none apparent in the unlabeled and mixed parts bags I received. Thanks!!!

Thanks, great to see these. Over the years I have owned a couple, and coveted the rest!

Thank you Too Many!!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. Walmart says they have 2mm and 1.5mm clips somewhere, I will see if I can find them. I know that ligature wire would work, but this is a nice build with fresh paint, and I'd like to show it, hence the need for the real part or a close facsimile.

Thanks, 2@$.54 is fine, but $7.95 shipping! Heck, I guess I will make them, ugh!

Very nice indeed! Are those Tarozzi bars on the black cafe bike? Thanks!

Good to know, thanks!

Thanks again to you all for your thoughtful and welcoming responses! My sense generally about tank liners is that the material, no matter how catalized, is plenty rugged. The efficacy of the liner is limited by host surface preparation and patience and attention to application for an even and...

One other ambiguous thought in my slightly crusty noggin this morning. Why are there separate drain plugs for engine and trans oil, according to the owners manual(thanks ToomanyXS1Bs)? Both appear to use a common filler. Is there some partial partition in the sump? Thanks again!

Thanks to you three for your thoughtful replies! Yes, the rear seam of the tank has been brazed, and the inside of the tank has been media blasted to some degree to remove a non adherent coating that was done at some point by the PO, who started to rehab the bike, and then tired of the project...

Just got this critter in pieces. Looking for seat strap hardware so I can get the seat reupholstered. Any leads on someone to seal the tank, and a good painter for original paint scheme gratefully accepted. I am sure I will find more parts missing. This tank seems to use locking has cap, is...
