Make sure that clutch adjuster worm gear is well lubed too.

Two early twin piston brake calipers for 72-76 models. Have been disassembled and cleaned. Have new seals for both, not installed yet. Pistons have slight wear but are useable. New reproductions are available through vendors though if that is your preference. Will sell as pair or separate...

Set of used vm34 carbs. I disassembled and ran them through my ultrasonic cleaner. These will require new jetting for an xs. 1into2 throttle cable included. Also have literature for tuning and replacement parts numbers.

I've got a handful of '75 parts leftover that I have been sorting through. I have a pretty decent set of exhaust posted in the classifieds, but I have other parts not listed as well. New members do not have the ability to DM until they have made 5 posts here. It's kind of a safety precaution...

I sent you a PM. I may be able to help with the VM carbs as well. Look in the top right corner and click on the envelope icon.

I know Daniel at Pandemonium took over his engine services. I think he also sell the ignitions on his website, but looks like he is currently sold out. https://pandemoniumc2.com/Engine-Building-Services-Cost-Varies-p157068444

But he only needs two more posts. Trying to help the feller out.

Interested in the spoke kits?

In my experience lacing wheels, it can become confusing after staring at it for so long you can feel a bit cross-eyed. My best advice for those taking this on is to take lots of before pics to reference and take your time. Congrats on the victory!

You do some really nice work. I enjoy following along your threads!

Not sure if this will be of any help, but a write up of my experience re-lacing my wheels after powder coating. https://www.xs650.com/threads/spoke-wheel-rebuild.57489/

Complete set for 19” front disk and 18” rear drum 36 spoke wheels. These are still new in package. Retail for $95 per set at Mike’s. $150 shipped in cont.US.

Now you tell me.... I'll do some more digging tonight.

Been hanging onto these for years but finally letting go of some of my good stuff. Complete factory exhaust from my 75 xsb model. Very solid with a little pitting from sitting so many years. These pics are after a quick spray and wipe down after bringing them out of storage and would benefit...

I do the same but use a little piece of fuel line under the nut.

I’ve never calibrated them. They just worked as they should when I took them off to install earlier type gauges on my bike.

Indigo Blue? What year is that, or are you referring to Bountiful Blue from the 77 model?

Parts came off an xs1b. Original gold paint that was scuffed and painted over with purple. Will need repainted but units are in solid condition. Lot consists of factory headlight bucket, fork ears and hardware for the fork mounted chrome turn signals.
