Ebay is one of the best places to find good used parts, there are tons. I linked some flange bolts and a set of petcocks, not sure what year xs you've got the petcocks are different. You can also get rebuild kits for them cheap on ebay. You can also find a lot of stuff at partsnmore.com and mikesxs.com. Good luck with the bike. I am also in MI in grand rapids. Have fun its a great bike!
