Anybody know of any videos for wiring? ('80 xs, new pamco with e-advance, capacitor, no battery, kick only) I've been waiting too long to have friends help me and I need to just do this myself. Any good how-to's? I have a wiring diagram already, but I'm a bit nervous to just go off of that alone.

So I took my bike to my friends shop to wire it. First day found out my regulator was shot. Got a new one. Then found out I had the wrong coil. Got a new one. Third time around, when we wired the ignition to the coil to a battery on the ground and when we gave it power, the ignition blue box got...

Anywhere selling a NEW stator for a good price? Id like to stay under $100 if possible???

I'm guessing I need a new regulator, but I wired the bike up mostly today (80 engine, new pamco, banshee pma swap, kick only, sparx capacitor instead of battery) and I was only getting 4 volts from the cap. Am I correct in assuming bad regulator?

So I bought this throttle a while back and just got my TC bros 5"+ throttle/clutch cables yesterday. When I install the throttle cable the way I think it's supposed to be installed, the throttle is already twisted a bit. The throttle lever on the carb is already pulled up a bit when the throttle...

I'm becoming impatient seeing my bike 99.999999% finished in my garage and now that I have all the means to finish and wire it, I want to do just that. I had originally planned on waiting until a buddy of mine was available and hauling it all down to his shop (in my vw :() and having him help me...

this is the only picture i have of my pipes (one of them still lying on the lift) they run right on top of each other right underneath my foot peg, but what I'm trying to do is something like this (minus the fish tails and my pipes will be right on top of each other) if i remember...

So I'm supposed to be doing final assembly next week and just realize I don't have cables. Where should I go? I'll link my build tread below so you can see the layout and if I need extended cables or not. Thanks!

Ok, so Ive searched the forums and come up dry. I can't find any instruction on how to put together the advance rod/pin and NEWEST pamco on a non points engine (1980). I've seen the youtube install videos and i've searched everything I can think but they are all using the older copper rod cap. I...

I'm trying to find my best/simplest/INEXPENSIVE option for a tail light that mounts to my sissy bar, since there's already a license plate bracket on it. recommendations? Here's my rear-end :wink2:

So my sissy bar cross bar for underneath my fender kind of hangs low. The tire on my bike now (just for mockup, it's being replaced) is an 18" 5.00-5.10. Judging from the pictures, would I be good with a 4.50 or should I go all the way to 4.00? Here's a couple pictures...

I ordered my Pamco from Mikes this morning, and I live in the same state, so it SHOULD arrive tomorrow (stuff from mikes usually does). If so, I'll be finishing up my PMA swap and then installing the ignition. After that, I need to figure out what I gotta do to just try to kick it over. I'm not...

Trying to see if there's anywhere local that I can buy a flux capacitor (or similar capacitor that will work with my pma swap/NEW pamco ignition kick only '80 xs650 so that I don't need a battery). I'm guessing this isn't something home depot carries, so....any ideas where I should check? I...

I may want to throw a front brake on down the road, and I really prefer the look of a drum brake over disc, so what would be the simplest/most cost efficient way to add a front brake? Currently, I have a stock xs front end, stock hub (late 70's) i believe that is meant to have a disc, but I'm...

I'm in need of an inexpensive headlight/tail light. Mostly just looking for a plain circle lamp. I'm making a little steel bracket for the trees so I need one that will easily mount from the bottom of the lamp. For a tail light id like something simple that will mint to my fender with a spot for...

Ok, I've got my PMA parts all together except the woodruff key. I didn't buy the HHB kit or any kit, I bought all the parts separately. What size woodruff key do I need? Or do I even need one? It's an 80 engine and will be installing a Pamco ignition as well.

So I'm doing the PMA swap (using a 1985 Honda VF500 stator) and the holes don't match up with the holes on the banshee timing plate. Kind of confused, because those were specifically named as parts I could use for the swap. Do I need to just drill holes or get a different stator? If so, which...

Ok here's my dilemma...(I e-mailed Pete the same question, but I know that guy is busy!) I am finishing up my PMA swap today (was waiting for the mounting plate from hhb). Then, I'm on to my pamco ignition. I've ordered all of the "extra" parts (the ones listed below the actual ignitions for...

I'm running an '80 engine with pma swap and pamco ignition with auto advancer (no battery). Headlight and tail light/brake light and that's it. What's the best most simple wiring diagram for this setup?

I cannot get the nut holding the alternator on to come off (I'm trying to do a pma swap). I have vice grips and pliers at the moment, and that fucker won't come off. Any tips?
