Just got these for my Commando. Arrived within a week. Really good, front ones have white sidelight and flowing amber signal. Rear ones have red rear and brake light plus amber flowing indicator. what’s really good, the amber lights flow at the correct flash rate without using a flasher relay.

Just came across this today. May be of interest.

just to let you know. I ordered some parts from Cruzinimage on 12/3/2021. After the confirmation of order I didn’t hear from them, waited a couple of weeks, still no dispatch details. After numerous emails I didn’t receive a reply to, I opened an enquiry through PayPal, today I received a...

just a big thank you to Kopsicle for posting the link to the thread on junkyard ignition. I decided to try my Lucas RITA reluctor and pickup with a Unipart ignition module from a Vauxhall car. I jury rigged it onto my XS just to see if it worked, and it does. The engine is running on its own...

I have found that it’s a PITA to remove the front wheel because I have a twin disc arrangement. The UK 75 B models came with twin discs but I believe they were a small diameter disc, mine has two full size discs and it’s impossible to remove the wheel through the gap between the callipers. Which...

Having been quoted 5weeks turnaround for the exch crank I ordered, it came back this week, 2weeks early. New mains, big ends and rods, new cam chain sprocket. Shout out for Heiden Tuning in Holland. Just in time for a lockdown rebuild.

If like me you have ever wondered what’s inside a transistor ignition amplifier box well, here it is all laid bare. After being gifted a Black box that didn’t work I thought it would be interesting to remove the case and pick out all the potting compound. Took me a couple of hours interspaced...

In my quest to find out what the noise from my engine is, it’s engine out day. Rocker cover off, nothing untoward in here. Just one of the cam bearings is a little notchy, I’ll replace them all. Head and barrels off, oh dear, a little up and down movement on the LH Piston. Remove pistons, the...

Hello. I have just noticed my points counter seems to be stuck on 93. Anyone she’d any light on this. Thanks.

Out riding yesterday, had my visor up this flew in and left me like this. Ugly enough without the swelling.

i thought I would put this here just in case. Replacement carb floats from a Mycarb, Indian copy of a Mikuni fitted to Indian built Royal Enfield. At the price I thought I’d take a risk, so I ordered a pair and tried them in some Mikuni carbs I am working on and they fit.

Hello. Can anyone, maybe Jim, point me in the direction of the wiring diagram that unloads the charging system when starting. Thanks.

I'm sure someone else will have come up with a tool for holding the engine sprocket, here’s mine.

I thought i would post this. Please forgive the non XS content. A few years ago a friend of mine now deceased, was building a TriBsa, he was mussing about silencers and decided on HD Sportster mufflers, 1 they are cheap, nobody keeps them on a HD, 2 Great chrome, 3 none handed. The results were...

Having the need to remove a broken stud today I went for the normal method, drill a hole up the centre tap in a fluted stud extractor and hey presto. However upon opening the box with the extractors within I found one missing, guess which one, probably lost or broken by the previous user, guess...

During the last couple of rides I have noticed a clattering noise from the engine around 3000rpm and above, it starts and idles like a Swiss Watch, quiet as a mouse, no smoke at all, but when the revs rise and under load it starts to clatter. The noise is getting worse for sure, but can be...

This may be of interest, or you may already be aware. While attempting to repair the alternator stator on my TX750, I had the LH case off and decided to clean and lubricate the clutch release mechanism. Thinking it would be a steel benbix in a plastic/nylon bearing, I was pleasantly surprised...
