Hi - I'm looking for a stock throttle control unit. Don't need the throttle cable, just the switch box.

I'm in!

+++ to 2M's posts about grounds. I recently hand soldered a new wire harness for my 78 special and all of my malfunctions turned out to be ground related!! The new powdercoat paint contributed to some of the grief - turns out the paint is not conductive (another xs650 thread!) Excellent thread...

I bought one of his wiring kits with fuse block - good stuff - plenty of wire to do a wiring harness. Quick shipping - all around good deal!

Here's another solution. I found this on Ebay. ACDelco 15823207 Power Brake Booster Check Valve PROS: qty. 2 valves in package fits onto stock thin wall breather tubes right angle diverts oil down to pods CONS: not black

bought some electrical parts - paypal and quick shipping worked great!

Hi - I have your kit and it's great! There are a couple of additional things that I have needed to make a complete wire harness, and thought maybe you could add them to future kits: 1. a 20AMP inline fuse with 12 AWG wire (battery fuse) 2. 6FT of 12 or 14 AWG red wire (from 20A fuse to ignition...

So I have worked on this and have installed all four valves with the same top profile. All are about flush with the caps. I have made an indirect measurement of the compressed spring lengths and am satisfied that they are within a few mils of spec (1.457). The inner spring is compressed more...

awww - more homework? haha thank you, this is a big help.

Yes - understand. I'll search about other valve adjusters and see what I can find. Thank you. Would you have any concerns about the intake and exhaust springs being compressed to different values? Both intake would be the same and both exhaust would be the same, but in/out would be different by...

Thanks you for the reply Twomanyxs1bs- a lot of good information here! I'll take some time and read through it. I was mostly concerned with running out of adjustment down the road - .040 seems like a lot of difference, but maybe not a problem. Are there any good aftermarket adjusters (cap screw...

also - old/new valve shaft diameters are the same - .315.

Hi - I am putting my top end back together. I sent the head out to a good shop and had a valve job etc. done. Old intake valves were not good, so the shop bought 2 new valves (from Mikesxs, I believe) and returned parts to me. I bought a new spring/cap set from Mikesxs. Now I am assembling the...

Got a 20ft. kit with inline fuse block. great kit - thanks! Now the work begins....

WOW - you guys are good! Went out to garage and guess what? they matched up! Starter button does hover over the dipstick hole when bike is leaning on kickstand and wheels turned right to stop.... Thank you! whew:thumbsup:

Hi all - this is my first post. I'm from WA state, and am in the process of rebuilding my 78 xs650 engine. This site has been extremely helpful, and I have used the search function etc.. to get answers to my questions. Anyway - I split the cases and found this broken part in the lower case half...
