  • Rubber parts source?

    Maybe some of you guys have the same problem I have, whuch is that the rubber goodies are starting to crack.
    In particular, the gas cap gasket on an XS 1100 G. My dealer says "no longer available".
    The brake bleeder caps I can get at Pep Boys, but the gear shift cover is not something they stock.
    Does anybody know of someone that stocks that sort of thing?
    Thanks for all the knowledge you guys contribute, it makes restoring one of these a lot easier. CZ

    Gas Cap seal

    The stock version is available. I found a local available part that works.

    Here is a thread on the gas cap seal replacement.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      Hi Capton,
      the gas cap gasket that MikesXS sells for the XS650 is identical.
      Note that the 3 screws you can see do NOT hold the gasket in place.
      You have to take the cap to pieces to get at the back of the gasket to see the E-ring that has to be removed.
      If you need the gearshift's rubber toe-protector, the XS650 one will work too.
