Cleaning out the clutter - XS11 Tank - Carbs - Etc.

[kboehringer]

Hi Kurt
I see brake discs in that pile. Are those for a 78, and is one of them good?

DAMN! Brian my friend.... that pile of stuff went to the dump. Unfortunately, it did contain several earlier model discs in good+ condition. I've put the slotted discs (later XS and XJ) on all of my bikes. I MAY have one or two left... I'll take a look around but I am dumping a LOT of XS11 parts in the trash can. I just don't have the space for spare parts for several different model machines. I'm keeping the most valuable/expensive and hard to find stuff (Carbs, Tanks, ECM's, Gauges). Most everything else is going in the trash.

You might check with JeffH. He upgraded a couple of his E's to newer brake rotors. He may have a couple good ones.

Thanks Kurt.

Andreas has sent a bunch of stuff in the mail for me. So I'll see if that will be enough to get me rolling again.

It does seem that the rotors are expensive to get new, so any in good shape are worth keeping.

Hello:

I saw your ad for XS11 parts.
Would you have a cylinder #4 carb body or whole carb for a 1979 XS11? Someone snapped off the pilot screw into the hole and I cannot get it out.
I also need 4 pilot screws as well.

I need a square headlight bucket and left, right fork ears as well.

I live in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada.

thank you,
Ronnie_D

Is the standard tank still available?

[kboehringer]

Yes. I still have it.

Tried to send a pm but site incorrectly says I have too many subscription and/or emails.

Kurt, tried to PM you also--same message. Please text me 616-265-4025.

Kurt, Do you still have a valve cover and a cam shaft set I can use for cores? Looked like there is a valve cover in the car trunk pic.

Bax,
Everything that was in that trunk photo is at the dump (and several additional loads).


However, I am certain I have SEVERAL more spare valve covers. I know I have a 78 set of cams and probably a pair of 80 cams too. Kinda like to hold the 78e cams. I don't understand "core" on the cams? Your getting an exchange somewhere?

You can have a valve cover for the postage cost. Let me put my hands on a pair of cams. You could have a pair of cams for $20 plus cost of postage.

Kurt, Cam cores would be used to send out for hard weld and regrind. As long as the bearing surfaces are good and have not already been weld/ground the 80s are fine for cores.

I am looking for a decent special tank for a custom 78 XS1100 I am building. If you have one, what would you need to get out of one shipped to 84062 ?

CLUTTER UPDATE:

The super high quality STANDARD tank is now SOLD. It will be on it's way to Michigan absolutely no later than tomorrow morning. (it's a TOTAL SOB packing one of these up to prevent damage!).

RE: BAX - CAMS
I haven't had a chance to crawl up in the attic to find the cams.... I WILL do so this evening or weekend. It's just a PITA where I have all the spares stored they're not right handy in the corner of the garage.

RE: Mothership Special Tank.
I took a quick look on Evil Bay and found a couple for about ~$75 plus relatively appropriate shipping charges ($35 +/-). Not sure of the overall quality of those but their prices are better than I'm interested in selling a tank for. I'm not letting one go for anything less than $100 +shipping. I'm not at all interested in competition with an evil-bay seller and "SPECIAL" tanks really aren't that hard to find online in relatively decent condition. It's just such a PITA to prepare and ship a fuel tank it just doesn't seem to be worth the effort for a SPECIAL tank. If anyone is in the neighborhood and want to PICK ONE UP.... I can offer a very good deal.

Thanks Kurt, Seems your PM is still over limits.

BAX,
I found a set of cams and a cover. The valve cover is going to take a little elbow grease to get nice & shiny again but it's free. The journals on the cams (and the lobes) look good, no sign of abnormal wear or lack of lube. The cam is from a 1980 according to the note I put on them some long time ago. You can have the valve cover, the cams are $20 plus the cost of shipping the stuff. If you need any other bits I can toss in the box let me know.

Sorry it's been delayed.... just didn't have the time to crawl around in the attic until today.

I'll try a PM to share my personal e-mail address and phone #.

Kurt, Big thanks!! After Nezzer upped the limits I sent you a PM with my cell.

Makes sense Kurt. Thanks for looking for me !
