77D. updated with original type gauges and headlight, added decals to tank and sidecover. Will be for sale in the spring.

Just found this post and thought I would share a picture of my 71. Not exactly racing stripe design, but the colors are correct.

It's thirsty Thursday :cheers: Today I reinstalled the carburetors and took the bike for a ride. Apparently the issues I found yesterday were the problem. Today the bike seems to run fine. No leaks and no funky idle. I took it for a short check ride just to see how it ran, and now it seems to...

Soooo, it's raining in southeastern PA today, so it seemed like a good day to check out the carburetors. In the process of removing them, I discovered lots of fuel hanging on the outside of the carbs. There was some fuel in the intakes, so I dried them out. I pulled the dipstick and smelled the...

As long as I can prove the original boots are not leaking, I will stay with them. It just takes a lot of effort and lube to get the carbs in and out. It ran well with the original carbs. I wanted the later models linked together to make synching easier and more reliable.

I was just reading on the post "71 Built for dad" where gggGary commented on the float level and the angled boots, so that will be my starting point. I also just installed a reproduction exhaust. That was an ordeal. Reproductions do not always fit like OEM. For now I plan on making a ramp to get...

Sounds reasonable. It's pretty cold here in southeast PA right now, so I may get to it this weekend. Thanks for the input.

So for the float adjustment, adjust for more fuel in the bowl?

Reproduction exhaust from an e-bay reseller. Looks and sounds good.

Is that a vote for the later angled holders as replacements??

Hi all. I have recently acquired a set of 78-79 carburetors and installed on my 71 XS1B. I want to replace my old original holders with a new K&L set. Can I use the stock 71-73 style or do I need to change to the later 74-77 angled style. The carburetors seem to fit into the stock original...

Has shorty's welded to pipes. Sounds pretty good.

Speedo from Mikes XS, homemade bracket. Not too bad.

I picked this up from Craigslist almost done. Put a few parts into it and now it's just about ready.

Well, its been just over a year now and I finally got around to replacing the magnet. The old magnet popped right off with a light tap of a chisel. The old epoxy was very brittle and just crumbled. After attaching the new magnet, the bike started right up. It didn't seem to be just right so I...

@gggGary Thanks! The 77 and 81 will be for sale come springtime. Time to make room for another refurb. Need a new project.

77D resurrected from a rust bucket.

How would you go about replacing the trigger magnet? Drill out the old magnet and epoxy a new one in its place? After installing the Pamco ignition, the bike runs perfect again, but I would like to try the experiment for the trigger magnet. I have the original TCI unplugged and would just need...
