The frame is 447-709… Engine is 447-700… Side panels have been repainted with new decals added

Thankyou for all the info , all very helpful

Thankyou Guys Do you think they were still fitting old stock 34mm forks on early 77 bikes or have just been replaced later in life

I suppose if i swapped the calipers to the 65mm hole pitch Brembos, then the calipers would be correct

Thankyou MikeG Will it matter if i use the forks in the reverse orientation? I might do the Brembo caliper swap aswell and run twin discs

Hi everyone, im looking for advice on the forks/brakes on my 1977 xs650, which ive just purchased The frame number is 447-709, so i assume its a really early 77, i assumed it would have 35mm forks, but it has 34mm and i thought it would have a one piece front brake disc, but its a two piece (...

I accept the nomination for my bike

Heres one of the other side, need to take some more photos for my Ebay listing

Finally got the seat upholstered, now ready to sell

The rear shocks are off a Triumph, ive forgotten which model it was for certain , but i think it was a Thruxton

Nearly finished Just the seat to get upholstered and a little bit of fetling and she’ll be done

Painted my petrol tank yesterday, flattened, compound & polished today, fitted new fuel cap ( swapped out the new lock with the old ) and the old badges

Im not a great welder, but its amazing what you can do with filler, & hours of sanding

I chopped up my front mudguard, i cut sections out of the front and rear then welded them back together So i retained the lip all the way around

Thankyou for your advice, Yes the headlight comes on now with the ignition & the back lights of the speedo & tacho which didn’t work before either

Thankyou for that, i did wonder if it did go there, so i assume you have to T off the left side, so the vacuum fuel tap still works

sorry for the newbie question, i have searched & searched the forum but cant see how to sync the Bs34’s on my 83 Heritage. Ithe problem is, where do you attach the manometer?? I know on the 38’s theres a screw to remove to plug in the sync’er but nothing on the 34’s ?? Thankyou in advance

I found your pictorial, Thankyou And ive soldered a joining wire at the rear of the relay as you had done. The battery is new, but I’ll just have to make sure i keep it topped up

Great info as always 5twins, I’ll wait to see what happens when i get the bike running before i start altering any wiring Thanks again Steve

Thankyou 5twins So the relay may not be broken then ( I cant start the bike yet as its still not quite ready ) i just assumed the headlight came on with the ignition as the rear light does ?? Yes i have removed all the other safety relays Cheers Steve
