Hey guys, Finally got my rebuild turned over and sustaining which is awesome - thank you for everyone's help on here! Electrical problems solved. Next up is controls. No bushings came with the bike (it was just clip on handlebars). I want to add bushings, risers and some nice classic style...

5twins = awesome. Thanks man :)

Hey guys, Only asking this because when I DON'T plan my next move things go bad lol. 1977 with a worn starter gear. Have replacement from Mike's. Have removed clutch basket and am now staring at the outer gear which I need to take off to get to the #4gear and replace it and the...

Well that's an easy fix :p Thanks for the tip man :) didn't realize those coils were misapplied :)

These coils x2 http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-electronic-ignition-parts-universal-12-volt-ignition-coil-si-47.html This wiring harness...

Hey guys :) Previous owner updated it with a 6 pin cdi ignition system. I wouldn't even know how to adjust it but I'm sure it's wired right. New universal coils and cables too which is why I'm thinking maybe the cables are reversed? Anyone know if the old cdi system is wasted spark? I dunno-...

Yup- perfect! Thx :)

Hey guys, Rewired the bike (1977 XS650 with an updated electric ignition, not points), starter motor engaged...occasionally it would make a god awful grinding noise but MOST of the time the pistons got chugging away like they should. Added gas, and basically I got fire leaping out of the...

Hey guys, When putting the side oil filter bolt assembly back together, I need to put the over pressure ball/spring back in. Is it spring, ball, holding screw? or ball, spring, holding screw? Thank you kindly.

5twins!! That is exactly what I needed - Thx!

Hey guys, I've got the original manuals, but I was hoping to confirm with someone the name, use and positions of the following tubes and lines: Ok so from the gas tank, fuel flows through the filters into the fuelcocks and then out the bottom into the two tubes and through the inline fuel...

If you already snagged a pair of clip ons, let me know what you'd like for the bars. Thx again :)

Hey 54, You mentioned you had a few different sets of bars maybe up for trade for clip ons? Can you post some more photos with hardware too? Thx man

Thx Hobo!!! That diagram is EXACTLY what I needed! Now I can marry the two diagrams together, and just keep the stuff I need. Thx so much for your help guy!!!

:thumbsup:Thanks dudes! Epic - Just what I needed!:thumbsup:

Hey guys thanks for all the replies! Wasn't sure if I was missing an easy OEM source but something a bit more updated from Biltwell or Joker might be the way: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/biltwell-slimline-risers I'm hoping these might do the trick? @ 54inches Haven't figured out...

Hey there, Want to remove these clip ons and replace them with some more traditional handlebars but I have no hardware to attach...no OEM risers or anything like that. Is there someone still making aftermarket risers that will fit the 650 and dampen vibration? Or is there any other attachment...

Hi there, These wires were cut on this ignition coil...and I THINK the idea is you solder your two mains directly to these tiny terminals? I'll have to heat the old stuff out of there and then resolder new wires...sound right? No special connector or weirdness I have to do other than resolder...

Hey thx for the quick reply, So if I'm using my multimeter to figure out which wires I actually need off the ALT, what am I looking for? Resistance to ground? And if I read that last one right, that means I'm gonna need more than just the three whites coming off the alt, right?

Hey guys, long time reader, first post. I could use a little help... So I received a 1977 XS650 cafe racer style as a gift. Engine was zeroed out and works fine but the electrical was an old racing rig, and I've pulled it out to rewire it a bit less psycho :) It was already upgraded to TCI...
