    Question/ unplugging reserve lighting

    Just my luck. The guy I traded for this bike sent me this rotor swearing it was good, guess not.

    Question/ unplugging reserve lighting

    I've got an '82 Heritage and the headlight wouldn't come on. Searched and found this thread. My bl/bk and bl/y wires are right next to each other so I just pushed a spade connector over the two pins to jump them. Crank bike and no headlight.....until I stick an alligator clip jumper wire down in...

    Brake m/c swap when ditching buckhorns for euros

    So the slanty mc is better when using dual disc due to piston size. Is there no dual or quad piston caliper that is a bolt on that would essentially duplicate two single piston calipers while not adding the extra weight of 2nd disc/caliper, etc?

    I had them rolled forward because it felt good. Rolled them back and issue resolved. Thanks.

    Brake m/c swap when ditching buckhorns for euros

    Bars are pretty much dead centered. Tach shell is wedged between banjo head and turn/neutral indicator.

    Brake m/c swap when ditching buckhorns for euros

    It wont work on these bars. The brake line is smashed against the tach housing and that is with the bars not even centered in their mounts. It has to go.

    Brake m/c swap when ditching buckhorns for euros

    They are the euros on MikesXS. That mc looks shorter than mine, would be perfect with front connection vs end.

    Of course the stocker has the line connecting at the end vs the front like on ones I'm seeing online.

    Brake m/c swap when ditching buckhorns for euros

    I have to have something that is shorter than 5" from the head of the banjo bolt to the right side of mc that buts against the on/off switch control. Banjo crashes against tach shell and that is with bars off center.

    Brake m/c swap when ditching buckhorns for euros

    The m/c that comes on buckhorn bar equipped bikes is apparently designed specifically for said buckhorns. I got some euros to replace the b/h's and the m/c res is not even remotely level, it is running downhill at an extreme angle. What m/c's did any of you who tossed the buckhorns swap to to...

    I realized I bit off more than I can chew with this project. I put it on CL 6-7 months ago. Pretty much no bites until last week. A young fellow in Fayetteville AR contacted me wanting to know if I would be interested in an unmolested '83 Heritage Special in trade. I said absolutely. He is the...

    On the subject of hyd clutch swaps.....how would a slave cylinder that comes with a 12.7mm bore master cylinder act if you used a 14mm master instead? The hyd kit that xs650.de sells comes with a 12.7mm master. The controls I'm looking at using if I do this swap have 14mm bore master. Is the...

    So I'm considering swapping to a hydraulic clutch. I thought that was supposed to be a remedy for the "cant find neutral" issue that arises when things get up to temp. So I'm reading this thread http://www.xs650.com/threads/hydraulic-clutch-intrest.48726/page-6 and supposedly going hyd doesnt...
