I just got done putting blinkers back on my 650. Went with led bulbs in the entire chain including the one that flashes in the center console indicator. I also got the blinker relay from superbrightled.com. I also have a brand new wiring loom and I re wired the grounds on the blinkers with new...
A couple of years ago, I bought a used FJ600/XJ600 half fairing, which may end up on the XS.
The original headlight was a fairly large, rectangular one, and not what I have in mind. I sort of like the late 70s Bol D'or style, like on the Honda endurance racers, with 2 lamps not recessed into the...
First, I apologize if this topic has already been covered, but through my searches I cannot seem to find the answer to my issue. I was wondering if anyone could help or point me in the right direction.
I have a 1977 that I have made kick only and I have vastly gutted the stock wiring to...
Hey Guys,
I blew my LED headlight on my 81'H and replaced it with a Halogen. I did install a permanent volt meter recently to help monitor my charging issues. HHB PMA and R/R were not charging for a while and then it did. In the discussion of going all LED with a PMA I thought I would use...
I've been having a great time over the last two weeks as I become further acquainted with my 77D, mostly stock, Stella. After the first basic safety checks and oil change, etc. I put her quickly into her role as my daily ride.
Most days are 5-10mi, but the last week has given me a few longer...
I am looking to upgrade my current headlight on my stock 1977 XS650. Nothing has been done to the bike except for fixing it up and getting it to stock running order. I have a few questions. I am looking for the brightest / most visible light possible since I do a lot of riding at night.
First...
I have tried searching for this problem but it seems like no one else has had my problem, figures.
Here's a twister for you, I tried wiring up some new LEDs on my 1977 XS650 with half luck. Yes, you heard me. Half luck. I can only get the back two LEDs to flash, not the fronts.
I purchased...
I have an '81 H that has been stripped down to simple systems: Kick only, Shorai LIon battery, Pamco, EAdv, HHB PMA. All unnecessary safety switches and relays have been eliminated. Bike runs great. My problem has been with keeping the battery charged while riding. I'm a rider who likes to...

Hey everyone,
So I am switching to LED turn signals. I went to Advance Auto Parts and purchased a LF-12 Electronic Flasher Unit which claims to have a variable load (i.e. no current minimum). It is a two pronged device which I connected to the brown and Brown/White wires where the old 3...

I am running the simplified wiring on the thread above the first diagram and I'm trying to hook up some turn signals from scratch using the LFS-1-flat relay but in the diagram it shows three leads can someone explain how to hook it up cause the...
Has anyone found a 1157 LED replacement taillight bulb that is equal to the good old incandescent bulb? Looking to save a few watts but not become someones hood ornament in the process.
Quick question, I'd like to switch my idiot lights to led lights...how do I do this?
I went to Radio Shack and bought a green led and promptly burnt it up, I'm assuming it had too much power going to it...so do I need a resistor or something?
Sorry, I'm just starting to learn...
