I have a brand new set of BS34CV carb holder socket boots made by JBM industries. I bought them thinking I was going to put them on my xs650, but I ended up selling that bike and never using these carb holders. JBM states that these carb holders will support your carbs even without the...

A potential buyer backed out, so it's still available. Let me know if anyone has any questions. thanks.

Well I'd like to sell my motorcycle if the right price came along. This bike has been hard on me and my family for a variety of reasons that I'd love to share with you, just not right now. My loss is your gain... 1979 xs650 bobber/chopper It is a kick start only, but still has the...

Hey XSLeo... Thanks for that reply. Yeah there isn't any power going to anything when the key is off. I charged the battery and put it in. At the terminal it read 12.75 volts. As soon as I started it, the number started to drop... slowly. I checked the rotor. it is at 5.9 ohms, but...

Yes it is a late model reg/rec brand new from Mikes. Yes I ungrounded by using the three nylon screws. You have all the details correct. It is a '79 and I'm running just a headlight, taillight, brake light. No electric start, just kick start. Sorry I don't have my bike description in my...

The battery box is mounted directly to the frame. I don't have the voltage with the engine running. I'm hoping to get that this weekend. I found an old simplified wiring diagram and it looks like the wire from the reg/stator should run to the "battery/power" terminal on the key switch...

When you say bad ground. do you mean from the negative battery post to a ground on the frame? I have a 14 gauge wire running from the negative battery post to the battery box.

I have a '79 with a reg/rec combo. The brown wire from the reg/rec connects to the black wire from the stator/rotor assembly. From there a wire runs to the key switch. I just need to know what terminal on the key switch do I connect it to. Is it supposed to be the Power terminal? Ignition...

The ignition has four different terminals (ie: power, ignition, acc, and start) My question is does anyone know what terminal the wire that runs from the reg/rec and stator to the ignition should it connect to? I currently have it running to the ACC, but I'm not sure if that is correct...

Well… I haven't had time to charge the battery to get it started. But this is the information I have: 1) Engine off…. 12.07 on the battery terminals 2) Brushes are .590 in length 3) Rotor measures 5.0 ohms I have looked up and down through all the different wiring diagrams. I haven't found...

Hey all, Well I finally wired up by xs650 bob/chop and took it on it's inaugural run. It started right up and since it was late I just took it on a quick run around the neighborhood just to make sure it was running well. I went to go take it for a ride today (5 days after taking it for...

Hard to tell what it looks like from the photo.

Only expect a $1500 build? That is definitly possible, but if you can't fabricate stuff for yourself and are buying things online, in my opinion you're going to eat up that $1500 fast. From the photo you attached: Hardtail: $250 Battery Box: $50 Fake Electrical box: $75 Tank: $100 Solo...

My 2 cents... I too recommend getting the hardtail welded up by a professional shop. But there is still a bunch of other welding you'll have to do. So if you don't have a welder or access to a welder, it'll be difficult. Also make a complete list of everything you want and need along...

I used the first method mentioned. It worked really well. I wasn't able to just push it in though. I had to lightly tap it into place after I rotated the kickstart lever and tensioned the spring. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be so difficult to push into place, but it works for me as of...

I'm in the same boat. I just keep looking for ideas online and hopefully it'll spark something for my bike.

I have BS34 CV Mikuni carbs with pod filters on my xs650. I'd like to replace the stock rubber intake manifolds with aluminum ones. I've seen TC Bros, but theirs is for aftermarket carbs. Any recommendations. Thanks.
