Honda / Re: Honda Xl500s Where to get complete clutch kit?

« on: August 30, 2020, 08:09:21 am »

OK. So I finally got around to getting the clutch kit at Wemoto.
The manual says to put a new clutch lock nut in - after looking on the net they are not easy to find. I have feeling it's not really that necessary. Thoughts?

Honda / Re: XL250 Exhaust identification

« on: January 18, 2020, 07:00:55 pm »

Does anyone here know what brand this exhaust is? It's brand new and for a 72 sideport port model. Pipe is for left  side. Holes in mesh are about 4-5mm dia. I don't know much about aftermarket 4t pipes. From looking at 2T pipes J&R used this type of mesh with small holes and Bassanis were 9 or 10mm. I was told this could be Bassani as the seller said it was with a heap of other NOS Bassani pipes but this type of mesh makes me think its not a Bsssani but i am still guessing. maybe the baffle is a good ID point?

I have something very similar - can't recall the make but bought it for my 79 XL500 years ago. Still have it but use a Peter Allen on the bike.

Thanks for the responses - was more interested in getting a complete kit from the same manufacturer like the Barnett kits on Fleabay rather than pieces from different ones. Will try the local Honda dealer (who I don't have much faith in given their past record).

Google is not providing much assistance locally and Ebay prices for a Barnett kit are ridiculous. Anyone know where you can get a complete clutch kit (friction plates, steel plates and springs for a 79 Honda XL500?

Wanted / Honda xl500s blinker switchblock

« on: April 08, 2018, 10:52:45 am »

Hi

Looking for a 79 XL500s left hand side switchblock in good condition if anyone has one. If no-one has a complete one, the part I am particularly looking for is high/ low beam switch (i.e. the top half of the block not just the switch itself.)

Thanks

Michael
