Hi Guys.
I have just removed my xs1b engine from the frame in order to send frame off for powder coating. Among over bodges that the previous owner/owners have achieved. the front two rocker engine mounts have been damaged, One has completely snapped off and the other is bent inwards. Would I be correct in believing that the Xs1/b Rocker cover is different to the later models due to the fact that it doesn't have a decompression linkage, the later having a four hole cover plus three ? so not interchangeable ?
I'm starting this project in the uk where none of the xs1bs were originally imported, so unless parts are interchangeable with later models they are unobtainable here.
I know its a long shot and I am struggling, Would anyone have an xs1/b rocker available at a reasonable price ?
Regards
