That is a great lookin' rig Steve - but I think you might have a ground clearance issue in left-hand sweepers....
Steve’s not done hooking up wires yet.....
Well, ok, it's an attempt to solve a problem that doesn't exist, in a mind-bending complicated way.
Ooooooh, I like that!
Turn signals that flash in unison with the ignition.
Back in the '60s, a friend of mine wanted me to design a circuit that would listen to the music on his car radio, and have it move the windshield wipers in rhythm with the beat. An interesting idea. But, imagine having to play slow classics in a light rain, then switching over to hard rock-and-roll when it downpours...
Good one, Rudy. But, no.
Interesting idea tho'.

Oops! Maybe should duck-tape the thing atop the tank?
Haha, yes, there's more.
And, that pic is *not* terribly unusual.
Been immersed in rat's nests before.
Right now, the thing doesn't work, and is in tweak mode. This is my first experience with P-Channel Mosfets, a fun learning experience...

Haha, now that I think about it, you're getting close there, Billy...
They make "cigarettes" to do that...
RE: #6911
It was clear enough to ride to breakfast at CJ. Sounded good, ran well. I'm hope as miles come so does the power. Not that it isn't there now, I just hope there is more as it bed's in. I was hoping to ride to my insurance office across town but, the rains returned.

I think they call that a timing light.

So this connector came off when I removed my Vetter Quicksilver (shoulda been a tad more careful)
Is this needed to attach a factory style headlight? This wiring is giving me a headache just looking at it. This is on my 78’

All right then. Time to figure out where it needs to go now lol hopefully it’s all color coded correctly. Might just wait till my Haynes manual comes in.
I like to take the wiring diagram and print it out so it takes 6 sheets of paper taped together, and pin it on the shop wall.
I tried to print one on A3 paper, but the resolution wasn't up to it. You must have a much higher res file ... I'd love to know where from. And what software was used to create it.

did many of the "factory" electrical diagrams as fairly hi-rez PNG files, they tend to scale up better than JPGs

Yesterday I bought a partially started project with a parts bike and an engine. I'm new to the site and to bike building but I love the look and sound of the XS650 and i'm hoping to be able to pull off a chopper/bobber build. I'm very excited to look through the forum.
