First, I am totally humbled by the thought that my painting skills were all that great, that is my XS1b tank in the top of this tread. Most importantly, I am a total amateur, did that paint job in a shed with rattle cans. Cost was about US$300 in supplies, only because I screwed up on the 2k...

Okay, not what I’m lookin for. Thanks for the effort.

Maybe then you can tell me if there is a web in the casting that crosses the opening where the timing chain goes.

Can you send me a pic of the cylinder looking down from the top. I’m looking for a 256 cylinder.

What year, more specifically what year is the cylinder?

Seems this post has gone the way of “build your own”, for what it’s worth I paid $160 for vapor blasting the cylinder, head and cover, Cash, seemed like a good deal to me.

But still.... $500 ain’t bad and with a title? Mine was $1200 and no title. Risky at best, but worked out okay.

And don’t forget the casting gussets on the main case behind the left side cylinder.

so here’s what I started with, kind of looks like a ‘72, but in the end was a ‘71 with a few missed match parts over the years. Point is, check carefully your numbers.

I have an XS1b, I think it’s the same, to secure the pin it uses a cotter pin with a washer underneath. Which means you need to put a washer on the small end of the pin after fitted and then drill a hole for a cotter pin. Tried to get a pic , but not so easy to see once fitted.

The best funnel I can think of for an xs, fits near perfectly to the treads of the dip stick opening, even 2 liter bottles works.

I have some brass 2.5 mm rod I used in my early BS38 carbs, I think it’s the same for yours. I would be happy to throw a piece in snail mail if you want.

Follow Jim’s write up, can’t imagine you would need more than this.

Maybe trying to retire on the Rivera.

Don't see one of these every day! https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/mcy/d/renton-rd-500-lc/7001492423.html

When I was a young man I had two very close friends, one with an old pickup truck the other with an H2. Together we like to take the H2 to the local drag strip, were able to turn in the low 10's. One Sunday afternoon we all decided to get together to work on the bike. Friend in the truck headed...

Ahhh, if only to be a teenager again.

hope this helps.
