Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a cheep modern (ie new) replacement to the carbs on my XS500? For example I was able to get a pair of brand new JRC carbs for my Triton for $150. I was hoping that someone would know of such a carb that would be interchangeable with the XS?

Also while I have you here.... progressive fork springs that fit the XS500?

My bike at the moment, tho it is slowly turning Red.

Thanks, especially for the fork springs. I realised late last night that the JRC carbs may actually fit and emailed the manufacturer, they're going to make me the mounts so i can fit them in place of the stock carbs. Saves me a few bucks, so happy with that.

But delighted to see progressive springs, I wasn't thrilled with the idea of simply using a spacer.

Give me your Bike... is it all red now?

Only one side cover,

But It will be when the weather warms back up. I like the red, and I think it's safer. I also have the headlight mostly sorted, the pipes ready to go back on, the lower handlebars ready, and so on... getting the screws outta the controls is going to be a pain, but happily I ordered new screws so that will be more pleasent in the future.
