    Source for exhaust valves...

    I checked PNM and I don't see 'em.
    No where else either...

    What to do, what to do...

    I know, I'll ask the 'guys'.

    Where can I order them?

    valves

    Are you working on a '79 or an '80 head? The '79's are cheaper and more readily available, as they share the same valves as the 750.

      The 79

      I can't use the valves from the 80. The 79 is the head I need the valve for.

        valves

        If you go to eBay and type in "xs750 valves", you'll see a couple in there. I think the buy it now price is about $12. The '79 750 and 1100 exaust valves are the same. I know this 'cause I have a 750 exhaust valve in my '79 standard. HTH

            Okay, I see it's a matter of $...

            XSPastor-those are cheaper than the ones I found a minute ago for $61. That site has them for $45.22

            I did just find some on Ebay for $12.99 Bikerphil.

            How much should I trust Ebay?

            I could've sworn I saw some for around $17, not that long ago. Damn gas prices! Everything is going up!!!

              ebay

              Hey Carolyn, eBay is where I got my exhaust valve. It showed up in about a week. Check the sellers feedback before buying from them, that'll tell you a lot about the seller. P.S. Gonna be up at my buddy's house in Methuen with my XS the 1st. 2 wks. in July. Mabye I'll give you a shout.

                    Bikerphil posted a while back that he got some off Ebay for $8 a piece... Maybe he can chime in to say who he got them off of.

                      valve supplier

                      I bought my exhaust valve from Rusty Riders LLC (mrssuperdeals), and they still have one listed now. It was brand new. Got it fast too. It's worth it to do a little part #'s research, it shure can save you a bit of flow.
