Hi Steve,

as you will know best source for XR parts is ebay. Since it is quite tricky to get rid of any excessive search results I've setup a special searchstring and stored it under "Links" on the left menu (last entry at the bottom line, most visited).

All XR1000 Parts numbers are listed in Manuals > Parts .
Anything not listed here is standard Sportster XLH.

>>Pushrods x4:
It might become difficult to find some stock pushrods.
XRNUThas been selling pushruds and tubes one year ago...

Maybe you just ask XRNUT where he got those he selled.

Having made some custom pushrods would be another option.
Most racers remove the factory aluminum pushrods and replace them with steel, the aluminum jobs flex too much. Smith Brothers was once recommended to me by Aaron Wilson, but I've sticked to the stock pushrods I already had:

>>tubes x4
As far as I remember the tubes are really just straight tubes of two (or four) different lenght. Once you find aluminum tubes with the same outer diameter you may easily cut them yourself (please anybody correct me if I'm wrong)

>>startermotor
Is this becoming a street legal replica?

>>supertrapp exhaust or similar
Supertrapps are seeked but rarely listed parts in ebay. We adjusted a set of used XR750 pipes to fit the XR1000 cylinder height.


>>XRTT body kit painted or other wise
We got ours from Sweden, but it was made from Glass (thick GFRP = heavy). We once borrowed the tank to Joerg, another XR racer, to make a mould and have a copy. He's not a member of the forum, but you may try to contact him via email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or phone +49 172/8888218
He may let you know what to pay for another copy of the tank and give you other details (weight, where to get another fairing). Note that the contact details are 2 years old and might not be up to date...

Maybe XRNUT or BREWSKI can provide other sources beside Airtech .
However, Jan-Willem and some more people have made no good experience with them, e.g. won't sell to Europe.

Cheers,
Tom

Thank you Tom for thinking of me and Keeping this site going. I did have Cylinder studs made ( $200 a set ) and Pushrod tube's ( $100 a set). As I did not get a response to my post about pushrod's, I only had a set made for myself. I can get them done again if someone need's them. I have not been on in awhile as the summer is my $$$$ Making season. My direct email is This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . And Yes, Airtech is like Toilet Paper! Once Burnt,Once Learnt! Thank's,Bill

Hi XRNUT ,
would like some pushrods made but can't make your e-mail work ,
do you have another ?
Cheers Steve .

Hello Steve,
First I would like to clear up a few thing's. My email is This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , I added a "O" in the original post. In my quick post last night I said a set of stud's would be $200.00. That was a mistake I would need to get $300.00 for a set of 8. Two, my pushrod tube's are not polished, they do polish up very nicely but I had planned on powder coating mine.
As far as pushrod's, if you look back in my old post's I asked if anybody needed any of these part's and got no response. So I only had my a set made for myself. If you are interested I will see what it will cost and let you know before hand. Anybody else out there ????
I have these item's made for myself and do not have them made with the purpose of making $$$$.

As far as XRTT part's, I would go to one of the US FT site's and go to the "link's". First Class Glass make's some nice product's. I ran a Storz Fiberglass tailsection on my stock framed XR1 and loved it. The Corbin pad WILL rip ( Just like every Corbin seat I had or have ) But it was very comfortable, as they All are. I have the stainless exhaust and if you plan on riding your bike stress will take its toll on them. A set just when't for a $1000 US and there is a set on there for about $900 last time I looked.
I have every XR1 exhaust except a Rich Products Thunderheader and I find that the stock exhaust with "Supertipps" is the best performing all the way around. I feel that the "crossover" in the head pipe's make's a big difference, I learned this with American V8's and feel it is true with HD's as well.

Is there anyone out there with A Rich Product's Thunderheader? I am building my own and would like to get some dimension's ??
