Welcome. Damn $50?! That's a nice looking bike man!

Called Mike up today and ordered my carbs! Can confirm he's wanting to cut back on a lot of xs stuff. He did say he may still sell some xs parts still through his brake business. I don't blame him on wanting to be able to relax. He's 72 so I'd say he's earned it. But man if he's not the nicest...

Hope I can still order his vm34 kit on Monday! Been waiting for some spare cash to pull the trigger on them. Hopefully the same thing that happened when I ordered a pamco doesn't happen. Ordered the pamco and a couple days later got a refund and he was done. Apparently I have bad timing when it...

Just want to give a huge thanks to Jim for answering all my questions on building and wiring this! Just got done hooking it all up and am proud to say that it works beautifully! No more boiling my battery from using the cheap Chinese reg/recs lol. This setup now caps it at 14v while riding...

I've already ungrounded the black brush with nylon screws and have it fed switched power. That's why I figured I'd just go with the newer style again. The racetech reg/rec it came with was the later type. But it was already on the bike and they didn't have the brushes ungrounded. So I don't know...

No worries. I do appreciate all your help! I'll do some digging around and see what others suggest for one. Might have to just make one like yours. Thanks again!

Lol yea I supposed i shouldn't have expected much from a fleabay cheapy! I've glanced at a few of the threads on making your own. I may have to try that out. I like how clean the one you made looks! If I don't make one do you have any recommendations on a good type A reg/rec to get? I wouldn't...

Well I grounded the green brush and when running at idle it jumped to 14+, reved it up a little bit and it went up to 17+. Then... the reg/rec went "poof" lol. It's toasted now, but it was a cheapy anyways lol.

Ok I will go try that right now. Thank you! I'll be back with results.

Yup the reg/rec is for a 80-83. I made sure to get the newer one so I didn't have to change the wiring. I have the black brush wire ungrounded and fed off a switched power. It is getting like 12.3-12.4v at the brush.

Ok so a little while ago I bought a xs650 bobber. It's got a 77 motor and an 81 chassis. When I bought it it was like 75% done. The wiring was not done at all. So I had to wire it up. I followed the xs650 chopper simplified wiring diagram to wire it up. I'll attach the the diagram. The bike came...

Sorry for the late response guys. I think I'm gonna try and modify it a little bit and make it work. Appreciate the input!

I have a new weld on chain tensioner I bought from tc Bros a little while ago that I'm looking to trade or sell. It just won't fit where I need it. From looking at pics and measuring it looks like one of the monstercraftsman clamp on one's would work. I'd prefer a sprocket one but a skate wheel...

Yea I will have to do that. I doubt I'll end up finding a Pamco someone will part with. Thanks!

Well they said my coil won't work with a boyer. So looks like I'm stuck with a $50 coil I can't use unless I get my hands on a Pamco. Still can't believe he retired after I finally ordered a Pamco unit. Would have never ordered this coil if I hadn't ordered the Pamco first. But instead of...

Thanks. I will give them a call

Appreciate the input. But the problem is I have a coil that'll work for the Pamco and no Pamco. I ordered the coil from Mike's after I ordered the Pamco. Then I got a refund from Pamco and it was to late to cancel the order from mikes. So now I'm stuck with this coil and no Pamco. That's why I'm...

So I ordered a Pamco e-ignition with the advancer on the same unit. Well couple days later I got a refund and find out he's done selling them. Crappy part is I ordered the coil and what not to run it and when I got the Pamco refund it was to late to cancel the other order. Soooo in final attempt...

Same thing happened to me. Emailed him a day or two before I ordered asking which coil he suggested. He said nothing of discontinuing them in the email. So the next day I order one, get the confirmation and the money taken out. A day or two later I was checking my bank account and noticed there...

Damn! I ordered a Pamco ignition yesterday and had a refund this morning. Crappy part is the coil, caps, and wires I ordered from Mike's for $80 after have already been shipped out. Wish I would have got a heads up when I emailed 2 days ago about which coil to order with the Pamco.
