Hello all! I'm not very knowledgeable where bikes are concerned but I do have a basic knowledge of mechanics, My 9 year old baby(XVS 650) broke down today,first time ever! the guy in the shop said the gearing on the end of the driveshaft is worn out, so I have to get the whole box as theyr'e sold as a package. About 12 hundred quid - OUCH!!! anyone know where I can get a second hand one or parts??? poor old girls not worth much more than that...

Thanks Bud, the heat guards were riveted originally, I just kept replacing them as they started to wear. Unfortunately once I started to do long distance journeys the problem got worse. thanks for the tip, I'll try ebay...

Hello all, just started this again so I'm new to it.... wondered if anyone could help me? I've got a XVS 650 Dragstar, she's a 2001 model and the heat guards are falling off the the exhaust, I've riveted them back on but one of them came off last week while I was on the motorway, lost it completely... does any one know where I can get a new one without having to buy the whole exhaust????
