I bought a Yamaha XS850 last week

I'm looking for parts of this bike

It's a Yamaha XS 850

Think about:

Headlight

exhaust

flashlight

UPDATE 21-02-2013

Did find a headlight flashlight and some other pieces for the XS850.

Did painted the wheels and brakes into black

The colour was the same as the the brown of the tank.

Too much brown......

Put nice flashlights on it , also the hard to find rear flashlights european style, and a nearly brand new original handlebar

Also changed the haedlight ears and today I'm getting an original headlight with the post.

Did some polishing except the engine because I still have to work on that

Next week I'm gonna change some gaskets of the engine

Here a picture how she looks today

and when I bought her

here's also a picture of the bike from the first owner

I found him on the internet because he had a site with the bikes he owned.

There was my license plate(in Holland the plate stays with the bike)

As you can see the silincers are different than mine

I have BSM on it

Still lookin for the original ones.....

IS IT BETTER TO LIVE YOUR LIFE BACKWARDS

Have you even thought what happens when you would live backwards? Seems to me much more enjoyable. But read on.To begin you stand up from the dead, a spectacular beginning ... If you get yourself out the coffin by your family and best friends, who welcomes you and they all have a flower. Then you should do a year or 20 nice things whatever you want to do, gardening, occasionally a trip at half price, staying in bed whenever you want and check every month your pension paycheck. On a day there is suddenly a guy for your frontdoor with a golden watch. He also offers you a well-paid job. As the years go by, you also get more and more sense to work, you feel that your health is getting better, you can have cigarettes as many as you like, because your lungs are becoming cleaner. You can drink what you want, the hangovers are getting smaller. You loose your belly without doing something for it. In the beginning you have 1 time sex a year, but on the last at least 10 times a week. At a moment you have to go to school but you knows everything, so you don't have to study. And the last years of your life you can play in the childrensgarden, nagging and annoying, and you can eat candy as much as you like, because all your teeth you got, you loose anyway. Than a few months to a woman's breast, then waiting for 9 months and then vanishing in a big massive orgasm ...........;-)
