Where to shop

[buickyouth]

Here's my wish list. I've been carousing the internet and local shops and have been coming up with nothing but snake eyes. If anyone knows a good source to get any of the following items, please let me know.

(all items listed are for a black 79 XS1100SF)

Luggage rack
Sissy Bar
Head Gasket
Fork Seals
Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Fork Brace
Left side cover

- OR - a swap meet...

like the HDs have... why nothing for Yamahas???

I think Bob Jones at Merriam Cycle has everything. He also made molds for side covers and they build thicker and stronger fiberglass sidecovers.
Number is (913) 677-4663

SS Brake Lines

SS brake lines can be order from Randy. (go to members list to order directly) They can also be purchased from almost any Harley dealer. Just go with the measurements of what you require.

I bought a set of S/S brake lines from Randy and I think they are great. I think they were about $125 total for the four lines.

there is a brand new sissy bar on ebay at the mo,
luggage racks do turn up on ebay you jusy have to keep looking,
as do the head gaskets.
the fork seals you can get from any good yamaha dealers as there are some bikes that still have the same size seals.
side covers are also on ebay,fork brace? dont know on that one,
and the brake lines you should be able to get made up some were?.just a tip when you go on ebay if you type in yamaha xs1100 in different ways you will find different items.like this
yamaha xs1100
yamaha xs 1100
xs1100
xs 1100
each time you put it different you come up with different things.just a tip to help,good luck.

Merriam Cycle has the fork braces and SS lines. Why support some stinking Harley trash dealer that helped to destroy the Jap bikes in 1982. Support those who support you I say. All they do is XS1100 there.

Harley Davidson 'Scented Candles.'

Need I say more?

I think we all know where our loalty doth lie.

Scented cadles?

Do they smell like h-d (horse droppings) Or do they smell like a puddle of dirty engine oil?

Hi Buick, I went all the way with my bike and spent hours upon hours shopping the net. Merriam Cycle is a great place to get what you want the first time...if a little more pricey. I have ordered thousands of dollars worth of stuff from www.mawonline.com, but you have to know what your looking for. They used to have a parts by bike data base, but sadly took it out for update and has yet to come back. They do have the best prices I've seen anywhere though, for your trouble. The other great resource is ebay. There are a couple other places I haven't done business with that are listed on this site too. Good luck!!

If I won a new Harley I would charge admission and have a Harley bashing with a sledge hammer. Then donate the money to charity.
