    How-To: Permanent Magnet Alternator Swap (Also known as the Banshee Swap)

    drake I would double check that banshee stator that you posted from ebay. i dont think it will work with xs650. I purchased my flywheel and stator bracket (really cheap) from the banshee forum in the for sale section. I would suggest getting the stator, reg, and bracket from Hugh. Good Luck

    Front wheel, no brake

    Not sure of the answer but get prepared for tons of people on here to tell you how big of an idiot you are for not running a front brake. Same thing happened to me. Dont let them change your mind.

    Spacers for a 72 spoke wheel on 81 front end? pics

    Hugh would it be easier just to sell the entire wheel I have and start with a used wheel or could I find a new aftermarket spool with the same dia. for the axle and match it up with the existing rim with Buchanans spokes? Shit I think I am making things way too complicated.
