Midnight Man

Hey Guys, I'm resotoring a 1980 XS850 Midnight Special. However, I'm having problems finding spare parts in the UK (it's an american import). Are there any well known contact in the UK for import parts or is my only hope using a worldwide search on eBay? Cheers Mike

Hey Guys this is my 1st post. I'm restoring a XS850 Midnight Special. I was reading through some posts and see that people seem to think that the XS models can be problematic, can anyone tell me what goes wrong? I got my bike last week after it had be dry stored for 12months without being run, started on 1st kick!!! Was well chuffed! I've given it a clean and shes runs nice and smooth and am now looking for bits to restore her to her former glory. I'm on the look for a new fuel tank if you know of any going? Any hints/tips would be appriciated. Is this model at all rare? Cheers Mike
