Hello all members, I'm a new member from the UK on the long road to coplete restoration. Xs1 1969 build.
When I got the bike the engine was removed, not completely whole.
Barrrels missing, carburettors missing tank not serviceable.
I guess I am going to have trouble aquiring new original parts or good secondhand parts for refurbishment on this early model.
I was told the gearbox bearings are not available for this year as they are different on a 1969, wondering what the workaround is, maybe machining?
Perhaps some of the uk posters could recommend a good engine builder for a total rebuild after aquiring the missing parts.
