I bought this regulator rectifier combo off ebay awhile back to replace my 77's separate units. I planned to use it with the simplified wiring harness. I just pulled it out to get started on it and realized that I have no idea where this is from. The guy had it listed as a unit from a running...

I removed my clutch cover to do some polishing and now I'm having trouble with getting the kick starter mechanism back into place. I followed this thread : http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=772 But I'm not sure if It's in right. When the lever is pressed down, are the gears from...

Edit: woops! I meant oil filter, not fuel filter! When I removed my oil filter today I noticed a small amount of debris on the filter. It looked like grinded up metal but may have been plastic, I couldn't tell. this is the first time I've changed the oil in the bike so I don't know if this is...

So I bought my 77' last year and started working on it to turn it into a cafe. The problem is the PO had the wiring harness all chopped up (well mostly just the headlight rat nest). I looked at probably 10 wiring diagrams for hours with a face like this: :confused: and this : :banghead: So I...

Hey guys, wondering if I can get some help identifying all the components in my battery box area. Spent some time looking them up but I get inconsistent results and I want to make sure I recognize what each component is and what it does. I took a picture of each component, what I really want...

Ok, so I had this guy build me a battery box and he built the thing too big. I'm trying to make it work since it took him almost 2 months to finish it and I dont want to go back. I'm afraid its going to be too big and the wheel is going to bonce up and hit the box and tear it off/lock up/end up...

Ok so I had this local guy build me a battery box. it took him almost 2 months to finish it and I'll never return to the place. the problem is, when I got home I found it looks like its going to be too big. I scooted the box up as far as I can get it to the carbs and the bottom end of the box is...

Can someone help me, I'm trying to install this tachometer and I'm not sure how to go about it. There wasnt a tach on the bike when I bought it and there was just a screw with a rubber seal around it in the tach drive hole. I bought this tach drive but I think I'm missing some parts for...

I bought one of the full size speedos from mikes (the electronic kind). from what I've fathomed, they use a wire sending unit thats attached to a bolt and some replacement bolts for the disc brake and this sending unit bolt gets a signal from the replaced bolts on the disc brake as the wheel...

I'm wanting to go with a different exhaust on my bike for what I'm working on so I'm looking to see if anyone is interested in the one on my bike. It was just put on by the guy I got the bike from. The chrome looks great but the headers are blue. I've got a roll of exhaust wrap that would go...

So I pulled out my battery box today. When I was disconnecting components I accidentally pulled the top part off this cylinder that gets feed straight from the battery and ripped apart a wire. Pretty sure I'm not going to be able to fix it and I'm going to have to get a new one. But I'm not...

My mission tomorrow is to remove the top and bottom triple tree from the forks so I can put on fork boots I found at a flea market. Do I just loosen the bolts on the side of the top tree and the nut in the center and it comes off? and are pinch bolts the only thing holding the bottom in...

This may be the dumbest question ever asked on here but since I've never done it, I need to know how. I need to take both my tires off my bike so I can paint the rims and get new rubber for them. be nice If I knew how they came off before I started removing things I dont need to and endup not...

Anyone have the 50$ headlight from mikesxs? or any of the other headlights? 50 bucks seems like a pretty damn good deal for chrome steel headlight with side mounts. Theres others that are 80$ but I dont see anything wrong saving a couple bucks for something that seems pretty sweet. your...

What size tires are you guys running? I believe I'm currently running 110 in the front and 105 in the rear. Hard to tell though, came with the bike and they are cheap Chinese. Not sure if this is the ONLY size you can run? I'm also almost completely sure they are stock rims.

Anyone know any specific compatible speedometers besides the one at mikes and OEM speedos? Need a speedo baddddddd. Don't really want to run a OEM, I want a newer looking one, but the only one I know of is the one at mikes for 100 bucks. Don't really have the change for that. Like to get a full...
