So I'm replacing the bearings on the rear wheel of my XS250 (drum rear) and I'm finding myself kind of stumped as to just what is meant to be holding the spacer that goes inside the wheel in place. I can't help thinking I'm missing something because from what I can see, all that is holding it...

Thanks for the confirmation. I thought I'd better make sure before I bought anything.

Hello, just a quick question; is there any difference between the rear wheel spindles on the different models of XS250, other than some being fro a drum brake and some being for a disk? Basically, I need to replace mine and I just wanted to make sure it isn't something like the 'normal' 250 and...

Yeah, that's the one. It slots onto two threaded bars sticking down from the forks and fastens on to hold the front wheel axle in place. (got an image here for one on ebay for the XS1100, and while the size may be different, the design will be the same: ) Mine dropped off and it has been a...

So, any word on that Front Axle Holder?

Damn. Oh well, worth asking anyway.

The bit at the bottom of the fork that the front axle rests on. It goes at the bottom of the left fork and looks like this:

Do you have the Front axle holder? Because I am in need of one for my XS250, though the part from the 400 should work fine.

Do you still have the Front Axle Holder?

You wouldn't happen to have a front axle holder going from one of the old 400s would you? The ones with the single front disk brake?

Yes, I have and while I can find a few, I have no idea if those will fit as they use a different product code and do not list the XS250, 260 or 400. Plus, they are in the US while I'm in the UK so I would end up paying like £20 postage only to find out whether or not it is a compatible part.

That was the first thing I did. All I get are sites saying that they don't have it in stock and that it is a redundant part. The part number is: 1E7-23167-00

So the front axle holder for my 1979 250 dropped off somewhere and it is my only form of transport, thus I am utterly stuck. I looked online for the part, but can't find one, and I don't have enough knowledge on the matter to know which parts would be compatible. No-one would happen to...
