Parts for Honda FT500 and Honda XL500s
« on: July 29, 2007, 07:23:07 PM »
Cylinder head complete with cam
Rocker cover complete with followers
Any top end gasket sets for either bike (not sure if these are interchangeable)

Honda XL was running OK, easily revving out in top gear, plug chop was OK.  Noticed oil breather from crankcase expelling oil, which was handy as I routed it onto the drive chain.  Anyway, the thing blew up, conrod and big end bearings turned blue - I guess it was oil pump failure.

Have Honda FT bottom end - going to morph with usable XL parts (magneto, alternator, clutch etc)
Please advise second hand parts availability.

Tried the usual Honda dealers, Dave Silver etc, no joy - parts obsolete.
