These Pics (in XLS) are from an 1978 Yamaha XS1100 (which I bought new and drove across Canada in 78- what a great ride)
Background: - just changed the fork seals (had to fight to get the hex bolts out of the bottom of the fork)
my manual did not say that you need a large torx type tool to stop the inner shaft from spinning)
And had to replace the springs
So bike has been apart for extended period of time and I have concerns in reassembling that I have everything together as it should be
1st) left nut seems to be on about 1/8" more than I remember when I removed the cotter pin
2) there is a gap between speedometer sender and right fork
I don't think I should try to squeeze in the left fork when I tighten the cap nuts on bottom
and I'm not sure if the brake calipers would slide on their bolts enough to allow me to squeeze in the bottom of the fork anyway
If anyone has a 1978 and could verify my spacings, I would appreciate it
or has any other suggestions
Looks like a can't post an attachement
I can sned pics if you send me your email
Thanks, Peter
