Parts and More

Does anyone know if the Parts and More gasket set (Part#18-0160) contain the exhaust gaskets?

Also, does their Dual Disk Master Cylinder (Part#08-0264) sit flat on the bar like a standard or angled like the special for it's buckhorns? I would like to change the buckhorns out for a flatter bar.

Yup. It's a very complete kit. Georgefix sells them too. Probably get it fast from george, but it will cost a few bucks more. I don't know about the master cylinder.

Tod always said that the XJ1100 gasket set is $12 cheaper and the only difference is the YICS holes that can be cut off and minus the middle drive gasket I think (38 pieces vs 39 pieces)... and we all know that Tod is cheap!

I have standard bars on my special with the stock angled master cylinder with no problems.

Not quite sure what to think...

If you only need the exhaust gaskets, I bought them for $3 a piece from a local MC shop.

I've had several style of bars on an 81 Special with the stock master and no problems.

That's a heck of a way to get rid of a girlfriend you don't want anymore Montreux_Blue.

You.....you do like girls, don't you blue boy?

Thanks to trbig i saved the $12 and can confirm the kit includes the 4 exhaust gaskets. They also sell 4 exhaust gaskets for $6.

Thanks for the help I ordered brake pads (all around) and the gaskets from Parts and More. I also ordered Accel coils and some rear turn signal grommets. It is starting to look like my almost two year rebuilding process might be coming to a close! I cannot wait to go riding this summer

Montreux_Blue - I cannot tell from your pic, but does not the angled master cylinder make your mirror sit funny? I had that problem with my Honda Magna.

Not so much the mirror.. as it is the rider that sits funny..




Some people have a whole 'nuther half of a bike to lean back against.

Hehehe....LOL....
You crack me up...

All I can say is... when he shed the back half of that Special, the weight loss made for one quick little bobber! Woah....

As to Greg's question... all I can say is: I've never seen him w/ a girl...

But, then again... I've only met him the one time, too...

Don't worry about Tod, he's just jealous that he was my size in 5th grade! Mirrors are fine, here are some different angles.

Who's jealous? It's just that MOST of us kept growing after that point.

And you're probably pretty close with that statement weight-wise. I remember I went over 100 pounds when I was in third grade.. so by 5th I actually probably WAS your size.

Would I need to replace my cables with shorter ones or will the stock ones work? My new bar has about a 1" rise and a slight pull back. I also have a flat bar with a slight pull back, but I think I like the slight rise better.

Montreux_Blue - Thanks for the pics! I never would have guessed the master cylinder could be reused after my problems with the Honda.
