Hi,
Just another typical gearhead that loves to work on things, and doubly so if they only have two wheels. Located in Edmonton, Alberta. A couple years back I picked up a XS2, with low miles on it. Your typical garage find, it has sat for way too long and unfortunately ended up the victim of a 80's style "update". After getting her running last year, I discovered that the front caliper was siezed and that master had corroded beyond rebuild. This led to the thought that a big brake swap was in order. The original front hoop has been relaced to a new 74 hub and 320mm rotors sourced off a Ducatti. I have a set of Blue spot calipers, but am considering the idea of going to a set off a 695 Monster as I fear clearance will be an issue. Still need a bunch of parts to make this work. If you have any early XS front end parts, please see my thread under "Buying". will post pics when I get a chance.
