        Though you should probably wait to see if our advice is really any good.

          I did keep the special all though it is a salvage and set under someones apple tree for ten years! And from just browsing the forums and tech tips I have already found several useful bits of advice. Also anyone know where to get a rea master cylinder for the 79 xs100f?
