I have a 1977 XS360. I need a float for it.
It has the virtually the same BS34 carb as all of the XS line.
The ACTUAL float part number is slightly different then for the XS400/650.

1J7-14985 vs 256-14985
(XS360) vs (XS650)

The actual float is very expensive and somewhat hard to find. Roughly 2x the price of a regular XS650 float.

Shoot, the retail price on the float ($50) is half of what I paid for the bike. And I should replace both.

Is it possible to substitute or replace with that float with that from another year/model BS34?

I'm not sure. What's wrong with your floats? Holes can be repaired in brass floats. You could also try to find a set of used "parts" carburetors on ebay or in the classifieds here and take the floats from. :shrug:
