  • Looking for an exhaust valve for a '79 Engine.

    Anyone have an exhaust valve for a '79 engine laying around? Bent one trying to get my project bike back on the road... Long story short, I'm pretty sure a gremlin put a bolt inside my #3 cylinder... I had an extra head, but apparently the 80-81 valves don't interchange. Any help would be much appreciated!

    I will dig through my parts by Friday and see if I have any good ones still around. I did a good job bending mine up though...

        I have a 78 head (same as the 79) with a couple of good valves. I also have an 80 head with all good valves (cross threaded the #3 sparkplug). If Nate cant find you a good one P.M. me and I can pull what you need.

          Thanks Ty. As soon as I find something out from Nate, I'll let you know if I need them. Ironically I have a good head, but it's for an 81 and the valves don't interchange. Just my luck!

              Thanks for the offer Nate. Ty is hooking me up with what I need, so no need for you to dig out that head.

                  valves

                  In case anybody needs valve train parts: have everything from a 79 xs1100 special (SF) cylinder head in a bag, cams, cam caps, valves, springs, buckets, shims, bolts, washers $40 for the lot plus ship. Also have valve train parts from a 80 xs1100 special (SG) cams, 6 valves, 6 springs, buckets, shims, bolts, washers, $30 for the lot plus ship. Both engines were harvested for useable parts due to some major engine failure, send me a PM if you want or need some parts, thanx andreas
