count me In I could def use this. Still not finished but getting close!

Dropped the price a bit. If not interested no biggie.

This came on the bike I am currently rebuilding. I was told it was reupholstered and it looks great. I am asking 100.00 OBO for the seat plus shipping and handling. Send me your email and I will give you a quote for shipping. I think shipping for a seat is in the ballpark of 50.00. I am...

I have switched out the gas tank on my bike to a xs550 tank and am selling my current tank. I am not sure the year for the tank and am wondering how many variations of xs650 tanks there were. The bike I bought is a 1975 but mods were done to it by the PO. I will be posting this in the sale...

XSLeo thanks for the information. I do appreciate it. This group rocks! Once I have it all dialed in I will post findings and photo's.

Now that light is truly impressive and for 600.00 to 700.00 I would expect it to shoot lazers to blast drivers trying to run me off the road to oblivion. A little too steep for my blood right now but I am sure over time the prices may become more reasonable. Very cool to see that...

Well, that is the kind of info I was not sure about. I guess just because it has been done does not mean it is the way to go. The lumen value is 1260LM and it is rated as Power: 30W. It also states that the lens design allows the light to focus on the front and sides of your path. So yeah I...

So after doing some research I decided I may want to go with a different approach to the whole double headlight aspect and go for the single. What I found was a 4 1/2 inch harley fog light that may fit the bill. I am attaching a photo of what I am thinking and the light itself. I found a...

Yeah, they do have high and low beam. Thanks for the response. I am sure different light sets have different power requirements so I will keep that in mind and try to find a comparison to the standard bulb. If anyone has any hands on experience with the best set up for the 650's lemmie know...

Very cool info. Sorry for the nube questions. I am wondering if a these led new lights pull the around same amount of current as an older incandescent single headlight. I guess I have some research to do on that. If anyone has done it on the forum please post some photo's thanks.

I wanted to know if anyone has taken the simple three prong headlight set up and modified it out for what it takes to switch to a double led light set up. The first photo is just a possible direction for the lights purchase and the last three is the end result I am shooting for (Actually the...

Thanks for the hook up on connectors. That does sound like the best way to approach this. The PO on this bike did go a little half assed on the electrical. I've never even heard of liquid electrical tape. Sounds interesting and worth some research.

I think the battery is holding a charge so I am going to start looking for burnt wiring and or spliced wiring. Electrical is not my thing but hopefully I will find the problem to help someone out down the line if not I may be picking your brains again. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I thought this thread was going to be a bust. I could not find out what is actually attatched at the bottom of the battery box and that is the area the smoke came from. Any idea what that actually is? It is a black rectangle around 2" by 3"with wires in...

So, I just picked up this bike a few months ago and have been working on the gas tank and slight performance upgrades. Nothing that has to do with electrical in the least. I disconnected the headlight working on the forks and had to reconnect all the wiring. I run the bike once a week to get...

Thanks for the louvers idea. Did not even think of that but I really like the idea. Yeah, dust with the velocity stacks are definitely a draw back to the functionality. If I am going to do anything like a long run I will most likely switch back to the pods. Little more frequent oil changes...

Oh yeah, the first photo is mirrored not sure how that happened. I am wondering with a new double disk set up with brembo's are they still a lot heavier than an original 650 single disk up front? What kind of weight difference are we talking? Definitely something worth taking into account...

Already have a brace for the front fork. I did a cnc job at work that should do the job really well. Not installed yet. Still doing a little front end work.

I was thinking I may have to cut some larger holes in the plate but I was hoping the fins still being completely available to airflow and the oil cooler I would get lucky. I am def going to check the link. I am not too thrilled about damaging the motor for a look. With the engine bored out to...

Love the build. The bike looks great and sounds sweet!
