    Piston Question (I may have royally F'd up)!

    Carb parts swap question

    Would the bowls from a 78-79 Bs38 work on a 76-77 Bs38? I also found that the xs360's use the same bowls as the later 650 Bs38. Would they work?:shrug: Just trying to figure out a solution to my problem. Thanx

    Anybody got an extra BS38 float bowl they could part with?

    (Dumb)Petcock Operation Question

    I feel stupid for asking but I would rather ask and possibly get blasted than not do the right thing so here goes. I just finished a two month '76 xs650 project with the original style(but brand new) gravity feed petcocks (I've never had a bike with this style before) and now that I'm riding...
