Alright, I've got a bunch parts in from all over including the momentary switches, new handlebars that I can run wires through and a bunch of other crap, I'm using the revival cycle wiring diagram, between a new tank, the mikuni vm34 carbs, new petcocks, new lines, new battery, new solenoid, and...

I would assume so. perhaps they just add the flanges and filters and call it a day?

In the box, when I got them probably 17ish months ago there was a receipt from Cognito Moto says Mikuni vm34, not sure where that paper is now but it was definitely Cognito Moto, I had been a big fan of theirs so I instantly recognized the name looks like these...

On another note, I have two sets of carbs, one that seems original to the bike and a set of new ones I picked up from a Facebook marketplace estate sale that I paid like $100 for a few years back, there both labeled Mikuni and I was told they would both work with the xs650, but im not really...

Sounds like an excellent place to start, what do I really need to focus on to get the ignition tested? The bike is more or less in pieces so do I need to sort out the carbs/fueling before I proceed?

Well it looks like I already have the M-button so that's that, I'll go ahead and pick up some switches if that's all im missing

I think I'll go ahead and use it, the Bluetooth options seem like fun, plus it seems like something I would eventually want to upgrade to, plus there seem to be quite a few in-depth youtube videos about that go into extreme detail when wiring it.

I've been keeping a list of all the parts that came with the bike and I honestly feel bad I didn't give this guy any money for the project it's somewhere close to 2-3k so far

So I was digging through boxes and found an m-unit from what research I've done it seems to be a replacement for the fuse box system, and really expensive, is this something I should go ahead a use instead and how would this change the current wiring setup?

I believe so, it's one of the things that was installed by the previous owner. So im not too sure.

This thing? Im sorry for all these stupid questions

I found this simplified diagram a while back, does this seem to be somewhat accurate? It seems pretty straightforward. Is there anywhere I should really look out for?

Haha, that's fair, it's definitely a group I could reach out and see

I've been to the bar he used to work at but that's about it, I've seen some of his videos to get an idea of where to start

As I said I have a ton of time right now, I'm might convert everything to the cheaper block connectors and bullet wires, but in your opinion the better wire is a must have?
