Not sure this helps but the early UK rear lamp for XS2 is shown in the attachment with part numbers, I’ve been trying to source one for the past 3 years ( and so far failed) to finish my XS2 build. You can get the lens but not the bracket.

It’s a shame that ESSO in our South Wales area will be switching from ethanol free premium petrol beginning of September and going down the standard E5 route. Im going to full up my Jerry cans in August to get me through the winter.

Just picked up XS2 tank today from Ultimate Bike Paint and to be fair I can’t fault the finish, it’s difficult to get the correct shade on the UK colour scheme, I went for RS paint Mandarin Orange and looks identical to the pictures I supplied him. The image looks a little red with the iPad and...

Picked up Tank, Side Panels and headlamp from the painter today and wen5 for the UK/Europe/ Oceania scheme. Pleased with results although it looks a little red in the image. Unusually bright Sunny day in Cardiff today and pant looks very much like jp Just picked up my XS2 Tank from Ultimate...

Yes XS2 Tangerine Orange, I’ll report back with quality!

Cracking job Dom, I’m picking my tank up next week from same painter and hope it looks as good as yours. Cheers Paul

Will definitely give Ultimate a call for a quote and won’t mention your deal. Do you have a phone number? Thanks

Cracking paint job Dom, was it expensive. I’ve been quoted £1600 plus vat for my XS2, a quality company but that’s a bit steep for me. I didn’t want to pay more than £1500 inclusive of VAT, although the XS2 UK orange is a time consuming task (no decals available). What’s your thoughts on the...

Dom, can’t comment on the thread size from CWC, but I read a thread on the UK XS forum last year from a guy in West Wales who was complaining about the cost of buying stainless spikes from Heiden and added cost was well over a hundred pound on top of the spokes. I think Raymonds timing was just...

Dom Central Wheel Components Birmingham have a good reputation for wheel building and looking at their website they list most XS650 years for stainless steel spokes at around £98 a set. This would be much cheaper than buying from Heiden Tuuning, I’ve bought a number of items from them and the...

Posted this in a similar thread recently———Just got my new vinyl VIn Label from a very well respected guy in the US. He is a moderator on the Yamaha 2 Stroke Trail Bike Forum and an excellent resource for hard to get Yam parts as well as rebuilding oil pumps and gauges. He charged 25 dollars...

Dom, I left an (r) out of Deets email address, it should be yamaha@nc.rr.com. I usually pay via PayPal and as I trust him implicitly use the Friends and Family payment method, much cheaper. When you are ready just email and ask for cheapest payment method. Cheers.

Dom Just got my new VIn from a very well respected guy in the US. He is a moderator on the Yamaha 2 Stroke Trail Bike Forum and an excellent resource for hard to get Yam parts as well as rebuilding oil pumps and gauges. He charged 25 dollars each for my AT125 and XS2. I think I remember a Brit...

Don will be interested to see how you get on with Ultimate Bike Paint, I also had my Yamaha Trials bike tank painted by a Bristol based painter (TJC Design) which was recommended by the Z1 Owners Club. I will be needing to get the XS2 sprayed in European orange/black which will require some...

Bristol seems to be the go to place for powder coating! I recently had all my XS2 black bits powder coated by www.realitymotorworks.com, also Bristol. All parts £320 and a choice of shiny black or classic 70s black. There will be no problem with threads as all are sealed with tape and the frame...

TXXS ,Perfect, many thanks for the info. It will be a lot easier explaining to the painter the above colour scheme. Cheers Paul.

Many thanks

I’m currently restoring an XS2 and plan to paint to the UK/ European Pearl Yellow Gold colour scheme. Could anyone confirm the correct paint for the stripes on the tank, from pictures I cant decide if there is a red stripe. Viewing from. the petrol cap down, 1. Tank Pearl Yellow Gold. 2. Yellow...
