    Headlight ?

    Trying to wire a stock xs headlight (has 3 wires: black, green, yellow) onto the bike which has a brown and a black coming in. I won't have any high/low switch-just a basic headlight. I'm thinking black to black, and the green and the yellow hooked to the brown? Any help would be great...

    Need input battery relocation

    I received a custom wiring harness done by daddycycles here on this site. His work is top notch and he made it almost idiot proof for an idiot like myself when it comes to wiring. Here's my question (no such thing as a dumb question) I do not know exactly what these two left over pieces do...

    Which relay is this?

    I was digging through my box of electrical parts looking for a voltage regulator for my basket case 650 and ran across this. Is this correct?

    Advice? Hairy electrical situation - new owner of 1982XSJ 650 project

    Gents (ladies), I would be grateful for your assessment: the first issue I am tackling is to get the electrical start/push button to work.

    Ignition Unit?

    I will be rebuilding my project in the future but in the meantime have things listed on Ebay to sell. Do I need the Ignition Unit to run the bike with a PAMCO and PMA? I would like to sell it because they go for a lot. I'm guessing it is only necessary if running an electronic ignition?

    Battery dies extremely quick.

    Hey everyone, I have a 1975 XS650. The battery will hold a charge for a short time. A lot longer when the bike is turned off and sitting. When I turn the key to "on" and take a reading on the battery I notice it drains by .10 every two seconds or so. That seems very fast. When the bike is...
