A few more photos of the finished product

While I liked the open wheel look and the retro bars (read: upside down stockers) I decided to add a fender and some 15" TC Bros apes. I've gotta say, my shoulders get a little sore after an hour or so, but I totally dig the look and the upright riding position. The fender has also come in very...

Guys........................just a quick conclusion to everything. My charging system is now running fine thanks to everyone's help. Seems that the broken wire on the stator was the culprit after all. Once it was repaired, everything is charging nicely. Now my carbs on the other...

Fair enough.............I've been using one of those small 0.8ah batteries with my PMA but it seems to me that a capacitor would make more sense. If I ever forgot to turn the key off, my battery would be toast almost instantly. With a capacitor, I could kick the bike over, charge the cap and be...

Just wondering..................why use one of these small batteries when you could just use a capacitor for the same price?? What's the advantage of one over the other?

Yeah, lowered between 2.5 - 3". The headlight is the standard black bates style, I just painted the bezel ring to match the bike.

Thanks. Polished with a sisal wheel on a bench grinder. Didn't really take that long....

Hey guys........it's been a few months of grindin' but the bike is finally on the road! Attached are some pics of the finished product. The 'floating' traveling man tweezer action seat gets a lot of looks! I also love the VW Beetle head covers which make up the electronics box. I ended up...

In the end, I went a different direction and used conventional led single filament bullet style lights. I added the custom dynamics module to allow the lights to have three functions, run/brake/turn. I'm very pleased with the result! I used the small bullet lights from JP Cycle and they light up...

Thanks guys.....going to check tonight. Also found this VERY useful fault finding flow chart http://www.electrosport.com/media/pdf/fault-finding-diagram.pdf

Hugh Appreciate you chiming in and I REALLY hope you are making progress getting your shop back up and running. I did have the battery load tested and it is no longer any good. I bought it new and only ever used it the one time. Seems weird that I fried a brand new battery. Bike has only...

Thanks Brian, I've been to that page many times while searching the tech section. That page deals with stock stator, not the PMA. I chopped the bike from scratch to get to the point in the picture...guess I'm a total retard after all. :wtf:

Sigh..... Lights flickering when bike idling and headlight shines brighter as you roll the throttle. Also had my (new) battery load tested and its apparently garbage!?! Wonder if my reg/rec is fried and detroyed my battery? Anyone have any ideas? How can I test Hugh's reg/rec combo? What kind...

Man I love this site! I ONLY bought an XS650 because of the wealth of information on this website.

Thanks Leo/ Brian and Hugh Took the flywheel off with a three jaw puller and found a bad connection between where the magnet wires are soldered to the electrical wires that run to the reg/rec combo. It may have always been a bad connection or I may have damaged it on install the first go...

Thanks Leo and Hugh Looks like one of my 3 yellow wires doesn't have any current, the other 2 are producing about 10 AC volts. Guess I'll pull the stator and have a look behind it to verify that they are in good shape.

"Check for .7-1.0 ohms between all yellow wires on the stator with the reg disconnected." Should I bridge two of the stator wires to get a reading between them? I was just touching my multimeter to one of the terminals inside the three prong clip that was supplied with the kit. Or do you mean...

Thanks Hugh, i appreciate you providing tech support when you are still trying to dig out from what happened at your shop. I guess this is only one more reason that everyone should buy from you !! I pulled off the small left side cover panel and can see the stator spinning. With the multimeter...
