need historical location of flasher relay - XS1

[TC2000]

Hi All,

I am rebuilding a XS1 and need info on original fitment:
Where was the flasher relay installed in the XS1?
How is the saddle stay and where is it installed?

I have a flasher unit and it is quite big. I would like to install it as originally fitted.
I do not have the saddle stay, and need any information on the shape, location, etc...
By now the saddle stops on the rear right flasher lamp, not good

thanks for your help,

If it's the same as my xs2 the flasher fits just below the battery box.
The seat stay is a hook that goes on a the small bracket on the seat,see photo.

Thanks Yellowdog,

I spotted a small bracket with a welded nut just under the battery box; I suppose it is where the flasher should go.

For the saddle hook: is the pivot pin going in a bracket under the seat? and where does it hooks to ? Anyone with a picture of the hook in place ?
I do not see anywhere under the seat to install that hook, but the seat could be a re-fabricated one...

here u go. let me know if you need another angle.

your picture is fine. I see now what is missing on the frame: the battery/toolbox support has not the part on which the hook catches.

For the moment, I will use a highly engineered solution : a piece of string....



Thanks for helping
