    Bought my 31T from tcbros. It comes black but that can be fixed with a can of chrome spray paint or powder coating

    Wanted - '80 brush holder

    seeing if anyone has a brush holder in good shape for my '80. When my brushes broke during the last ride, they took out the holder as well. Mikesxs gouges you on shipping and everywhere else is out of stock.

    Carbon brushes

    Thanks guys! Looks like I'll do some ebay digging for an oem set, and order a niche cycles set for the saddlebags. Better safe than stuck roadside.

    Carbon brushes

    I installed ricks carbon brushes over the summer when I bought one of jim's rotors which I highly recommend. The last sunny day we had I took it out for a quick and chilly 15 mile ride (still 45°f). a few miles from home the bike died at a stop, and had no juice to turn over. Long story short...

    Long distance trips

    Got new parts on the way, should solve this charging gremlin. Sorry for hijacking the thread guys. One thing I like to take with me on any trip is a change of shoes. Flip flops easily tuck away in most backpacks. Now- do you ride with pack on shoulders or strapped to the bike? How do you strap...

    Gotta love previous owners. I found 5twins thread about adjusting timing- //www.xs650.com/threads/tci-timing-tweak.55209/#post-600892 It looks simple enough. I think I'll take you up on your offer Jim

    Stator and rectifier check out ok. It looks like the stator was installed cocked at one point, creating that wear ring on rotor and stator. That's a hell of a deal Jim. But how does one retard the pickup if it is on there with peened head screws?

    Long distance trips

    Must be a rewind then. It does look like it's been replaced at some point in the last few years. With the bike running at 3,000 rpms I'm only showing 12.3 on the battery. (Had it on trickle charger overnight) Jim's rotor looks like a worthy investment. I have not tested the stator, or reg/rec...

    Would the discoloration on the slip rings have any affect on charging?

    Long distance trips

    Haven't ride the bike in 2 days so it's been sitting. Just tried to start it and battery wasn't having it. Measured at 11.95V. Brushes are also pretty worn. Probably 1/8" left on both
