Does anyone recommend a vendor that sells short pieces of wire (8-10 feet) of different colored wire and some of it with stripes that I could purchase to redo a wiring harness thanks

I saw a post earlier today and someone referred to a 45° cable adjuster on top of their carburetor to help get it out of a bind and I cannot find that post again. They also mentioned a lighter spring for the slide to reduce the throttle pole, and I cannot find that thread if anybody remembers...

A few weeks ago there was a picture that somebody posted of adding a seat damper on an early model XS for support. I ordered one and it came in and now I’m trying to look back on previous post and tried doing a search and I cannot seem to be able to find the post or picture of the location. Any...

I’m in the final stages of restoring my XS2, I had the tank professionally painted and I got some peacocks from Mikes XS. I tapped out the screw holes in the tank to clean out the threads of the paint. I put a couple of gallons of fuel in and let it set overnight. No seepage from the right one...

Does anyone have a picture of how the spring is positioned on the latch? I tried doing a search and found 2 other people asking the same question with no response from years ago. Thanks guys, you all always come thru !

What determines where this screw is to be set at, mine is flush with the nut

I’m going to install my sump cover I have always put a light coat of oil on new gaskets Any other suggestions? Want to make sure it doesn’t start seeping. Thanks

I pulled the drain plugs on my XS2 project and the plugs had 2 different kinds of gaskets. One was copper and the other was gasket material. I looked at pictures on eBay and both were listed. Any preferences between the two?

I am installing my exhaust on my XS2 and was wondering: 1) should I use anti seize on the nut between the header and the muffler and 2) it comes with clamps that go around the nut and fasten to the center stand bolt. Are these really necessary as it would look a lot cleaner without them, as far...

I’m wanting to clean and rejuvenate the rubber on my XS2 rear peg rubbers. Anyone have a product or procedure for this? Thanks

Has anyone ordered from Heiden Tuning lately? If so, what was the shipping time. I’ve been waiting about 5 weeks. They have great products and I ordered from them last year and I thought it took about 3 weeks.

Does anyone have a picture of where the ground cable from the battery attaches to the motor? Also has anyone installed a replacement wiring harness from Mikes on an XS2?

Did the XS-2 com stock with a front brake light switch? I can’t find either one below the lever or on the hydraulic line on the parts fiche.

Does anyone have any pictures of the harness routing around the battery box. Really from the back of the tank to the rear fender Have found several around the steering head but not around the battery box. Thanks

Does anyone have a picture of a 1970-1972 speedometer and tachometer taken from above that shows how the 2 lighting cables are routed to the headlight housing? I’ve looked around on the forum and I cannot find a clear picture of the routing. Thanks

I am getting ready to remount my speedometer and tach and was wondering if anyone had a photo of the back side of the instruments with the wiring in them so I could see how it is routed out of the sockets Thanks (I guess I should have taken more pictures)

I am assembling my XS2 It has the stock size sprockets, will a 530 O-ring chain clear the cases when it goes around the countershaft sprocket (17 tooth) ?

What is recommended to put on frame to keep from scratching it while installing my motor. My frame has been powder coated and I made a motor install tool like 5twins did out of 2 pieces of pipe. It would make me sick to scratch up my frame

I took my oil pump and tach drive out of my right side case to polish my case. I put it back together last week so it would be on when I installed my engine in the frame. I saw some pictures today that shows some arrows on the pump. I looked in my service manual and there is no reference to...

I’m starting to put my XS-2 back together and noticed that there is a screw in the center of the bolt that goes thru the oil filter with a ball bearing and a spring behind it. Mine wasn’t tight when I removed it to clean inside. Is this some kind of adjustment? I’ve looked in the service manual...
