5twins Right on !, I've actually just this morn tried to adjust a voltage regulator up .The least corroded one is just kinda flat and low (13.1v) ? so Im trying to get that one hotter ! Very interesting ! Was wondering how you've done trying this.... too early here to make noise, the bubs mufflers . -RT

The 78 Standard is the best looking and by now probably the scarcest machine of the whole XS650 series. You're treating them right, TM--congrats!

Hi TM,
yeah, I recognised that rear light assembly because it looked so much like the stock Lucas rear light assembly on my BSA.
The "Japan" box explains your light's minor design differences and overall better quality.

I've been known to have the rock staion on the radio when I work on the SG. Alice Cooper has a radio show. So does Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister. Rock on! See things better in the day too.
