The TCI looks like it was soldered by an underpaid, child in Cambodia, hell the plastic box its in is unnecessarily massive compared to the board. The traces on the board look very thin and fragile with porosity, not sure how that wouldn't qualify as garbage. Points are cheap, readily...

Would be a great consideration if it wasn't a spring seat that was constantly flexing. Yes, I did pop it, after posting this and realized it was a huge POS. I might be better off going with points otherwise there isn't much protection. I am thinking of using a potting compound that should...

I am trying to relocate my TCI box, bike has been heavily modified, but where I want to place it will be completely exposed to the weather. The box's look pretty cheap and I am afraid if it's not protected it will get fried if it is exposed to rain!

Put my name in the hat!:D

Cool, it all makes sense now! Posted via Mobile

Cool! You guys are life savers!!! Kind of confusing because you essentially have two hots going to the regulator, I am assuming that the regulator controls the ground through some kind of black magic, LOL! Don't care as long as it works! If you guys ever make it to Cave Creek AZ hit me up I owe...

It has a triangular plug with two pins. Posted via Mobile

Hum, so do you know if the regulator shunts to ground? I am confused. The hot wire going to the regulator, unless I am even more confused than I thought, comes from a inline fuse keyed power. So It makes a complete curcuit with the regulator controlling ground? Posted via Mobile

Yes, the brushes. Not the green wire coming from the regulator to the brushes but the other brush wire, mine happens to be black. I did see different years had different colors. I am assuming it was due to the later models have solid state reg/rec. I added a pic of the diagram and am pointing...

So I picked up a 1972 XS-2 basket case for less than a hand full of green backs. I have it built and am just finishing up the wiring. I am using the radio shack rectifier / NAPA regulator and I am stumped. I have poured over diagram after diagram and can't find this one little answer. Where...

Congrats Rodalgrumm!!!!

Wow! Give me Chop Source or give me death!!!

12 V LED Jesus Tail light. I am asking $90 but open to offers. Will only consider shipping outside the US depending on the sale price.

Thanks for the PM on were to get the dimensions on the rear wheel bearing spacers. I thought I would post the link on this thread incase anyone else is looking for this info. http://thexscafedotcom.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/xs650-sr500-rear-wheel-bearing-spacer/ Turns out my spacer is the...

Thanks for the reply, i will give it a shot this weekend. :thumbsup:

Does anyone know how to remove the bearing from the front brake rotor? First bike I have ever seen with separate bearings for the rotor and wheel. I am assuming that the disk shaft, #27 in the attached photo, is pressed into the bearings, #21 in the photo, and therefore can be pressed out...

Man glad there were so many responses with the length of the Wheel bearing spacer, LOL! Anyway I ordered an new one so it doesn't matter at this point hopefully I have the wrong one.

Would anyone happen to have the dimensions, specifically the length, of the bearing spacer, #7 in the above diagram?

Thank you for the reply. Yes that spacer is present, it is what I was refering to as the top hat spacer and is pressed in to the bearing.

I have a rear wheel from a 72 xs650. Other than the rim spokes and hub I had to find sources for all the other wheel parts. I ordered both the right and left bearings, the bearing spacer with the flange, and the top hat. I noticed there is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch space between the bearing...
