Getting a set of tubes hard chromed is too expensive and I don't need a floor room finish. A local place in NSW quoted me $780. Fuck that.

On the hunt for 34mm replacement tubes for a 75' XS-B. Mine are super rusted at the top. Alternatively, I could rebuild the forks since the rust is only at the top, and find some fork covers/ shrouds. So possibly also looking for someone that has the skills to fabricate some fork covers from...

What about '73 tubes to replace my '75 tubes? is it the same deal?

I took it for a spin with just one disc and it feels adequate for how I ride it, I also replaced the rear shoes so it's stopping much better. Should keep me upright until I get some more play money to improve on it.

I can just see the top of the o-rings when the pistons are fully seated. I just inflate my tires at a gas station. I was going to buy an air compressor but I brought a grease gun instead because they have like 4500 psi. The pistons were seriously rusted and I'm trying to keep this under $400.

I don't have an air gun so I've resorted to using a bolt and sleeve nut to walk it out, and when that doesn't work I use a grease gun which is a terrible time. The pistons appear to be the same size as what I pulled out of them, and the new ones move freely without the o-rings, although there...

Am I able to 'cap' one calliper and run only a single disc on a twin disc 75 XS? Maybe even remove one disc? I've completely rebuilt and replaced each calliper with all new parts and still have a leak in one calliper, so I'm unable to get any pressure in the lines. I've grease gunned it so...

Mopar Matt Do you remember where you got this from? .. an old dirt bike perhaps?

... and I'll be checking the boots too Wes

The RHS pipe is yellowish & purple and the left pipe is more yellow, so I'm guessing it's the left hand side. Theres two cables for the carbs and I haven't set the sync on them for a while. Sounds like I should be checking the ignition, checking the valves, then cleaning and syncing the carbs.

Yep I did attempt that when it happened but not so lucky

Hello So I wanted to get some advice before I try to fix this myself and most likely make things worse. I just replaced my head pipes with the exact same system I had, which is the 17" reverse cone mufflers with stock head pipes cut down about 6". The old head pipes were 38mm and I replaced...

Okay awesome! Thank you!

Sounds good! I just sent you the the payment, if you could ship it to PO BOX 194, Annandale, NSW, 2038, Australia Thanks Rich!

Yep, all the switches will be at the handle bars The key on/off will go on the LH side of the tank. I’m in Sydney, Australia.

Let's go with the harness thats just the wires and fuse block with the ends marked. My tail lights were always on with what I had (when it worked) so that is okay. Do you want payment by Paypal? Please let me know what timeline I should expect too Thanks Rich!

I think I wanna stick to the diagram harness, complete with switches. Will I be able add this harness on top of my starter relay, safety relay & starter wiring setup? Heres two photos of the switches from last time I replaced one

No problem, if you can make one up I am interested! The bike I have is 1975 brat, it still has the stock harness that was hacked together prior to me so theres a big mess under the tank. The components I have are: High/ low beam L/R turn signals Front brake switch Push button and toggle switch...

Do you still have this? Can I add some turn signals?

Damn, I just checked on UPS, they want $100 AUD to ship it to Sydney, Spenno.
