I'm looking to see if I can get some sort of triple clamp that will accept 36mm forks. I'm not worried about machining or welding, easy stuff. However I've stumbled across a thread indicating the XS750 triple clamp might be a direct swap into my XS2. Anyone have the details on this?

I'd be interested in the front forks if they're available. I'll send a DM

Oh man, you don't know the half of it! He was a hoarder of industrial equipment and random junk. Would you believe me if I said that was the cleanest I've seen that garage in my entire life? There is a horizontal jig boring machine in the carport we have no idea how to get rid of. 7 tons of...

Its going to be a bit light on pics for a min, its still at my grandpa's place. Though I did grab a single pic.

So I inherited a 1972 XS2 from my Grandfather. I literally just got back from setting eyes on the bike for the first time in 10 years. Its in remarkable condition all things considered, its been stored inside since parked, but it looks like it spent the first 10 years of its life outside. I know...
