Hi, so here we go. A few years ago I bought a basket case XS2. It literally came in boxes. The seller had said that the front rim had been bent in an accident and he had included a replacement as well as the original disc that was on the bike. Well the original disc is the floating type and the...

To those of you who have installed mikuni carbs on the older bikes with the dual throttle cables, how did you do it? All the kits I see have 2-1 cables for the single throttle pull. I'm assuming the stock cables won't work with the mikuni carbs. Is there anyone who makes them for this...

On an XS1, Where did this split wire connector originally mount? It is with the group of wires around the coil area. I see it on my original harness too, but since the bike was a disaster when I got it, I don't recall where or if it was even attached. Thank you.

Ever since I found a beaten and battered XS1 I have been scrounging parts to restore it. It had the wrong front end on it and while I found forks, fender, trees, etc., I had not been able to find the one year, one model only reflector trim rings that go on top of the gaiters. After some...

Today was a good day for me to start taking the XS1 apart. Getting ready to take the engine out soon. So somewhere in the past an oil cooler was added, and unfortunately they welded bungs to the numbers matching case for fittings. I want to eliminate the cooler fittings, and I'm going to assume...

I am looking for a pair of chrome reflector covers for a 1970 XS1, part number 256-23122-60 Its part #17 in the diagram. Any help or leads would be appreciated.

I was pretty good about documenting and taking pictures of the engine as it came apart, and unless this seal rolled away somewhere, I have no...

I picked up a 1970 XS1 last week and had a question about the signal lights. I heard that some early ones came without. My VIN is the low 3000's and I have no signal light but I do have the signal light switch on the left control. Did they all have the switch regardless of having the turn...

Has anyone ordered a set of piston rings for a 256 motor from cruzinimage? If so, I'm looking to see if you found out what material the rings were, and what hone grit was recommended for a simple re-ringing job. Thank you.

Hello all. I'm starting my second restoration (or rescue) mission on a vintage M/C and will surely need your knowledge from time to time. Back in 1983 I bought a brand new 650 Heritage Special. And while that was 30+ years ago, it still remains one of my all time favorites, out of about 20+...
