Hello, Does anyone know where I can get the hardware that slides into the chrome seat trim so it can be fastened to the seat itself? I rather not fabricate my own so I figured I would see if there was something out there that will work. Thanks, Justin

You called it! Short in the dimmer switch. Thanks a bunch!

Finally getting things finished up here on my XS1, and hoping to get it ready to pass NYS inspection. Everything works except for the headlight and the horn.. With the ignition switch clicked over all the way to the right, the tail light is on in which I would assume the headlight would be on...

Been a while... Anyway, I just put my 1970 XS1 on the road after a couple years of working on it, but am plagued by the lack of a horn again. The control is there, as well as a spring where the button is supposed to be, but I don't have the rest of the internals to have the horn function...

yup! that was it, i couldn't tell from the diagram, but that was the daddy. thanks!

Finishing things up before I take it for its first ride since 78'. Anyway, to adjust the clutch per manual it says to loosen the lockout, tighten the screw, back it off a 1/4 turn and finish the rest at the handle bars... problem is, after backing the screw out, there isn't enough thread to...

I'm interested in the seat, what do you want for it? Thanks

Just looking to see if someone knows where I can find rebuild kits for my XS1 petcocks. Mikesxs lists them, but i've been waiting for months to see them back in stock. Thanks guys!

Ok, dumb question. On the left hand light control setup ( directionals, hi-low bean) what is the other vertical slide for? ThAnks!

I got it running tonight about 8:00 pm est, I couldn't resist.

Bought it last year from the original owner, I have the receipt from the dealership along with the ID card, and owners manual. I plan to restore/ride and enjoy this machine. I have put some time into cleaning the carbs, going through the wiring harness and replacing the exhaust, this was all...

Oh cool, I'm hoping I won't have to fool with the carbs. Thanks!

Alright, well I ordered the replica headers and commando mufflers from mikesxs.com. what do you think about jetting? Running factory everything.. thanks

Well I don't think I want to go the 1 3/4in route after reading about it. I think I'm going to order the replica chrome headpipes and the commando muffler. What do you think? Anyone running that setup?

I emailed Gordon to see what he has for options, as what i found on his page is nothing of interest. I was planning on ordering the stainless head pipes, with the exhaust torque inserts along with the XS performance reverse cone mufflers. I have included part #'s here for reference. P.s...

I need to replace my exhaust on my factory stock 1970 XS1. The bike was a barn find, all original. I just got it running, but the exhaust is shot. I want to do the stainless route, anyone purchase a set from mikesxs or 650central? also what muffler choice should i go with? I want to keep the 2-2...

yeah I hear you. One autobody shop scanned it for me, nothing even close. Any suggestions?

mark isn't interested in sharing colors. He will paint your 6 parts for a small $1300 fee...no thanks!

I have tried. My sidecover paint is mint orig, nothing has come up even close to it, Maybe there is a gold basecoat?

I've seen some fine paint jobs out there, anyone?
