Hey all you X8 guys.
Picked a 4 stroke up at a garage sale and need some help with it. A kid owned it and it's been apart and back together more than a couple of times. Parts are missing and I don't think I can get them aftermarket. I need a couple of pictures and a couple of leads.
First off, the wiring is a mess, a real rats nest. After removing about 10 lbs. of electrical tape, there is a bunch of the harness that has no apparent home. I could use a pic with the tank cover off so I can see where all this is supposed to hang.
Second, the rear bracket that hangs the gas tank and also, I assume, mounts the coil, solenoid and other stuff is missing. I can fabricate one if I had a decent picture of it.
Third, The body work is beat up. Most of the mounting tabs are broken off and I am thinking about making it a naked bike of sorts, as in no lower fairing, but I could use a new tank cover and seat / tailpiece. I have been looking around on the net and have seen a couple of one piece units. Anybody know which fits and which doesn't for an X8?
Thanks everybody for the time and effort,
Rick
