    mini/bikini fairing?

    I see that Omar's has a little fairing that covers the stock gauges and headlight with openings for the turn signals. Can anyone recommend any others ? What about replacing the glass sealed beam with a plastic lens/halogen to save a bit of weight? Thanks

    Rotor upgrade?

    Kev posted a list of 320mm rotors with the same bolt pattern as the xs front hub. I was about to order that XS Performance rotor (298 mm) but am now wondering what sort of performance difference I might expect from a 320 mm vs a 300mm rotor. Is it significant? This is for a stock single disc...

    aluminum fenders for a '77?

    Can anyone help me to source some alloy fenders to fit my mostly stock '77? I'm hoping to lose some weight and get a bit of that Brit bike look. New or used - I can fab mounts if needed. Thanks Alan

    fuel tank lid?

    I've read that the fuel fill cap on earlier bikes was aluminum with the Yamaha emblem on it. Will this cap fit the tank on my '77 to replace my chrome one? Will the key mechanism interchange? Does anyone have a photo of the early one, or have an extra cap to sell? Thanks

    2 into 2 headers ?

    I like the look of the later more curved stock headpipes - what years had these? I'm aware of the reproduction early style pipes at mikesxs, but don't like the more angular look. Can anyone direct me to a later style 1 1/2" header copy, or should I be looking for a used set of stock pipes? Thanks

    fitting adjustable fork valves?

    I bought a set of adjustable compression damping valves at mikesxs.com - turns out early '77 D model 35mm forks have different (earlier type) damper rods than other '77-84 forks. Can anyone tell me how to fit these valves to the smaller diameter top ends of my dampers? Not included in mikes...
