Posted January 28, 201015 yr Hi guys, I have the opportunity to buy a 1971 XS2, its a US import, needs restoring and not registered but fairly complete but needs a seat and a footrest. Where can I get parts from if I wasw to buy it, been looking quickly on google but not much joy at the moment. It has a spare tank and spare engine also but otherwise I dont know much else, just had a brief phone call with the owner. Any help with what to look for would be much appreciated as Im going to look at it tomorrow at 11. Do I bite his hand off or am I going to end up with a bike I cant get parts for? Thanks Doug.

January 29, 201015 yr Author They do seem popular in the states. Had a look today, solid but needs alot of parts/work, he wants 700, not sure its really worth that though..
February 2, 201015 yr You'll struggle for parts in the UK, but with the internet, no problem. make sure its got an import cert with showing that the duty has been paid, or you'll have to pay again when you register it. +VAT!
