WTF is right!! But looks like it could be fun if it ran lol

I just finished a harness for my bike and I was also told to unground the stator with nylon screws (not plastic). apparently keeps you from frying the stator. Go to youtube and search this video "XS650 Charging System How to Wire it Up - Continued"......my buddy sent me this link and it shows...

Wicked pipes and a great build so far :thumbsup:

Okay so if I get a larger set of bearings that will fit the bottom then I can open up the top and it should work? Thanks MrBillohnooo.

I thought they would would both fit the same too but for some reason the opening in the bottom of the neck appears to be larger than the top. I was just curious to see if anyone had encountered this problem before or knows of any way I could slip a spacer ring in the lower neck to take the play...
