One more thing. Custom Rewind uses a heavier gauge wire than Mama Yama wanted to pay for. As a result, a CR rotor magnetizes at 4 ohms rather than 5. The result is the same output with less resistance, and less resistance means less heat. Insulation is also superior.

Thats USD though..just had another look so Aussie dollars around $110
my thought exactly . looks like its an unbranded Indian manufactured part to me. There is no way it could be made in the US or EU for that money.
You know the saying ' if they can't be proud enough to put their name on it '......
I'm wondering about balancing too... seeing as its stuck out on the end of the crankshaft
Peanut, the following rotor rewinder may interest you at some time:

The XS650 rotors are about halfway down the page. Pricing looks good but postage needs to be added.
cheers Paul. Hopefully won't need it as I have a spare rotor but you never know.
a nod to your vastly superior xs650 experience ....
Here in the UK there is an ever growing passion for original classic bikes and scooters with the emphasis on conservation and originality. New non-OEM parts seriously devalues an original vehicle over here. I have a 64 lambretta Li150 Special scooter which is totally original apart from some consumables like tyres exhaust and cables etc . if I were to spend £2000 upgrading and improving it with new modern parts it would wipe £1000 value off the scoot ! so I collect and refurbish original period parts for it same as I do for my XS650
Its a different situation I guess in the US as there is a plentiful supply of bikes and parts . I guess its a different choice here in the UK as most of us classic bike owners rarely ride more than 30-50 miles locally and are never more than 5-10 miles from a garage or bike shop if we break down so reliabilty isn't perhaps such an issue .
That is just a daily commute here. Surely you're pulling the wool over my eyes.

Better to disconnect the power feed at the regulator plug riding total loss?
The three wire plug under seat brown green black?

As long as you kill power to the rotor. Pulling that regulator plug would do the trick.
