Welcome to the forum, Mike Capitan.

Our '71s are part of the rarer '256' part number crowd, and the eBay sellers know it.
First off, go to Vern's website and download everything XS1B related, manuals, parts lists, ...etc.

https://thexscafedotcom.wordpress.com/tag/xs1b/

These are the main supplier sites for the XS650. Spend some time perusing their offerings and tech sections:

http://www.650central.com/
http://www.hoosracing.com/
http://www.heidentuning.com/
http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/parts.html
http://www.nwvintagecycleparts.com/index.php

Good/budget piston sets can be found in this thread:

And, of course, piledrive thru this forum's 'tech' section.
A search on "256" will also belch a vast amount of info.

Welcome to the 'challenge'...
