Thanks Christian,
The sidecar has moved on a bit since that pic....and I was not a fan of the black and gold RH paint scheme. I'll put together a post in the hellos and goodbyes with a couple of more recent pics.
Cheers

Hi Rob,
I have a centre stand with bolts, nuts and spring - just needs a bit of a clean up and maybe a new coat of paint. It was removed from my H model to allow for a 4 into 1 exhaust system....also a bit redundant on the sidecar which it is now becoming. Sorry, I want to keep the sidestand for emergencies. Can't help you with any of your other bits. I am however looking for a LH side cover if anyone knows where one can be obtained.
I'm in Aldgate, SA. I'll send you an email so we can communicate off forum.
This is the first time using the forum and still learning about uploading images etc. Please forgive any mistakes.
Cheers
Roger

If you want great mileage buy Avon Road runners. 

If you want to slide down the road on your arse in the wet buy Avon Road runners.

I think they are made out of PVC Pipe.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Have a chat with the guy down at Taylors Motorcycles, in the industrial area near Service NSW at Bathurst. He recommended Pilot Activ tyres for my XS11 and they have improved the handling no end.

So the list has grown and I think includes quite rare items.

Rare-ish?
Left hand front indicator mount/stalk
Left side frame cap/cover
Centre stand

Other:
Side stand spring
Side stand bolt
Battery
Tyres

Speaking of, what tyre is everyone running?

Cheers

Hey all, just a quick update on progress (which has basically stalled) I'm back in Bathurst working on the bike. I have a spare frame to grab the stand mounts from, I will Wills these into place. I have a side strand, but still hunting a centre stand.

The forks are on with fresh oil, will assess need for rebuild after I get it all rolling, looking ok at the moment. I still haven't managed to find the right front axle (and spacer) - I am planning to order from the states.

Other than that I have repaired the side cover that was cut to accommodate the side car.

Thanks Eddie and Jonesy for the help and advice, . Not far too go now.

Cheers
Rob
