just picked up a 1979 xs650 special

[79yam]

just finished the painting on my cafe seat



still need to do the covering , i'm not looking forward to doing it , as i never have done it before

any tips anyone ?

 

[79yam]

got it fitted back on the bike , and working on my signals , but i'm having some troubles with my new signals.

 

[79yam]

got some heat wrap today , such a killer look


i also removed all the gauge clutter as well as the unused wire in the headlight bucket


im still having the biggest problem with my signals still , damn led lights
i can use the led compatible flasher relay , and i get flashing but very very dim
or i use a stock flasher and i get steady light with no flash

HELP !!!! i cant figure out what's going on it should work

Not to brag but I just pick up a 79 special today that sat for 20 years about same shape. Got it running today also. I'm keeping this one original but I have a 78 special that I'm chopping . They are cooler chopped but stock is cool too!
