Thanks for the regulator replacement advice and wiring - my old mechanical unit was allowing spikes up to 16.3 volts. $28 at the local parts store and about 15 minutes of wiring and soldering - runs perfect......14.5 volts rev'd up. Also brought my idle voltage up a bit as well. Great...

Holy hell.....almost 5 months over on something promised in 5 weeks?.....that's totally unacceptable. Sorry to hear that....unfortunately in this industry it's more common then it should be. Did it get any further then the last picture in this post?

Or theres a few of us on here that have some laying around.....

No....they just say Scorpion....but funny you bring this up Before I bought the Scorpion I bought a Pirate Battery for my XS....because it looked cool. I mean....how can you NOT like a Pirate Battery? Turned out bad....right off the bat. Didnt let them send me another one, went...

If anyone is looking for another good source of AGM batteries Ive bought ALOT of batteries from www.batterystuff.com They have the AGM for the XS for $66 total, shipped. http://www.batterystuff.com/powersports-batteries/sYTX14AHL-BS.html In fact most of their AGM batteries are that cost. I...

About 8000....its to cold to go look. 1979 hard tailed.....yeah, I felt most of those miles.

If your talking about TC Bros forwards....I can give ya a heads up....they ain't gonna jive together.

Man....I was off the net for a few days. Guy living next to me has a 1980......14k miles runs and rides.....real clean bike with a charging issue. Wants $750. I ride to Council Bluffs all the time.....Im about 3 hours away from there.....your just across the line.

I upgraded to an AGM battery. Paid $60 shipped from batterystuff.com I've used them for years....always great batteries for reasonable money.

Thats just what I was going to type. Ive been there. I pulled one gasket out of each side, put new gaskets in and started putting the pipes back on when I noticed one side was fitting as well. Look down inside revealed that side apparently had 2s gasket in it. Not sure why, the way these...

Wanna get on a bike and ride hours and hours down the interstate or highway? Spend much time above 70 mph? Get the BMW. Want a bike to go from one town to the next or like to travel at a more relaxed pace.....then consider the XS (although the BMW is just as good at this). Honestly.....I...

You need to upload them to a service like PhotoBucket (free) then paste the links over here using the little picture icon.

I used a external NAPA brand fuel pump on my Goldwing after the stock pump died. 68k miles on that pump when I sold the bike. Maybe you got a bad one....maybe I got a great one.

I've pulled a trailer with those small wheels for tens of thousands of miles with zero issues. Required no more maintenance then my bigger trailer with 15" wheels. Drug it down the highway at dang near triple digits forever.....checked bearing with a infared thermometer and no warmer then the...

SIGMA bicycle speedometer....see it mounted right on the bars. Digital.....accurate to 199mph.....backlit for use at night.....LOTS of function including temperature, trip and total distance, max and average speed etc. $30 and took 5 mins to setup

Good to hear.....simple fixes are rare, take the win.

That lowest mark on the disptick is still safe. Id be surprised if the noise had anything to do with the oil you put in. I also dont think adding a half a quart or so of 5w30 would present a problem.

I kept constantly adjusting mine to keep it from flopping into the fender. I finally gave in and bought a skate wheel chain tensioner. I went bolt on....took 20 minutes over a year ago and no chain adjustment since.

....yeah, seriously look at this. I bought a hardtailed XS650 from a dude a year or so ago. He sold it fairly cheap because of a similar noise. He was convinced it was a cam chain noise....and the sky was falling. .......I could see where the chain was whacking the rear fender so I...

Well for example I have high speed DSL internet thru my phone company....they have 3 speed options. 3Mbps - 6Mbps - 12Mbps So the connection to the internet for me is 6Mbps (they want to much money for the higher speed). My router is a capable of 300Mbps (its a N router) in the house and I...
