I'm very close to wrapping up an '80G I picked up. PO had removed some parts including the wire harness prior to selling it to me. Put harness back on bike, some parts missing, so I don't have the light checker and bypassed reserve lighting unit - L/Y to L/B Everything electrical now...

I picked up this 1980 and would like to make it original. Previous PO removed wire harness and electrical items. I could use some advice on where the fuse box and rectifier are located. (for that matter, the harness runs too). I've been sifting through past threads for photos, but haven't...

I'm laying out a new, simplified wiring harness for my '83 SK. It's a basket case so a number of electrical components are missing. Among the missing is the starter safety cutoff relay. I've been using one of the simplified wiring diagrams on this site and it includes the relay - I'm...

The bike is an '83SH with stock BS34 carbs. I bought OEM needle jets and mains from Mikes. (Someone had buggered up the old jets.). The new mains will screw into the old needle jet, but not into the new one. The new needle jet appears to match the old - both are Y-0. I can thread a different...

I got some jets from Mr. Morris for my '83 B34's. (along with the M & M's). Enclosed was also a #38 drill for enlarging the slide vent hole. Did some searching here, including the Milton mod, but haven't seen much by way of explanation. Any opinions, or data on this mod? Also, need to...

'83SK - BS34 Carbs After much reading, and with the manual and carb guide by my side, I disassembled my carbs and found....... #1-The RH Jet Needle has an irregular linear groove in it. #2- The Needle Jet has 4 symetrical grooves around the top, while the LH Jet does not. Bike was...

I have an '83 SK frame on my bench and I notice what feels like excess side play in the swingarm. Best as I can measure I have .048" play - right to left if you were sitting on the bike. The fit across the diameters feels fine. No discernable play. I checked my Haynes manual and there's...

I have an '83 XS (mostly there) - Throwing away the old wiring harness and going all new with the Chrysler/Radio Shack Rec/Reg. mod. I picked up the R292 and see four wires. I re-searched some more threads here and see I could have bought the R295 with two wires. The 292 I have has a green...

Got brackets?

I plan on changing the angle of my rear shocks similar to what others have done, that is to tip the top of the shock toward the front of the bike. I like the look of the hardtail, but want to keep the shocks. Question is, for those who have done this, have you noticed any significant change in...

Will buy, or trade my 16" Uebe

I joined the XS Forum this past summer and I'm finally getting to work on an '83 XS650. I've had British Bikes and other misc. bikes. Still have a 1948 125cc Harley from my youth. I could use some advice on the electrics. The XS is a "basket case" and many of the electrical items are missing...
