I've got some that I made with my wifes cricut machine, using the gasket material that you buy in rolls at the auto shop and then cut out yourself... PM me if interested, not sure what it'd cost to mail from California to UK but I'm game to find out

Nevermind!!! I seem to have found my answer, so you can disregard the inquiry. :thumbsup: For the record and anyone else who may be searching for the same answer, the answer I found is yes the XJ650 stem is a direct swap with the later (post-'74) XS650 head tube, and should fit just fine...

Does anyone know if the steering stem from an xj650 is the same size as from an xs650? I need a stem for the Springer project Im working on and someone I know offered an xj650 bottom tree for basically just the cost of shipping. I looked up and found that the bearings are the same size for both...

'80 Special

Anyone have a brat Kit they want to sell? I'd prefer visual impact style but any kit really would be fine. Thanks

Oh okay gotcha. Thanksq

So I'm a little confused what exactly are the 3 M8x25 cap screws and nuts used for??

Oh and I do have one more question while on the topic... Do you think if I were to TIG weld the tab that broke off the original basket that it would be fit to use? I would really only keep it as a spare to use temporarily in case of emergency until I could get a replacement part, so like a few...

Gotcha. I really appreciate the honesty, hopefully someone else can chime in who's done it or who knows where I can find these elusive little bits of hardware! Cause man oh man I really don't wanna have to shell out another $60 just for 3 fuggin bolts and 3 little half-stack nuts...

Sorry I was kinda rambling off on that post, I tend to do that from time to time, moreso when I'm talking about something I'm really interested in or stoked about. Or if Im really pissed off, haha. Anyways, yup yup JP you nailed it, the 3 sets of fasteners you've shown in that bottom photo are...

Yeah it's gonna be a custom mount, I ripped out that hideously oversized hunk of a battery box and threw it on the ground!

My dumbo ass broke one of the tabs off the cast aluminum basket part of the clutch while using the wrong tools to try and remove the center nut (play stupid games win stupid prizes!) I found one on eBay for super cheap ($12 shipped!) But- it had 2 of the cush springs busted. so, last night...

Just making sure I understand everything 100% 😁

So the RMStator/Ricks Motorsports R/R would be compatible with a LiFePo like the ones you mentioned? And that's all, just swap out the R/R for one that's Lithium compatible and that's it, nothing else needs to be done?

Just wondering if the stock charging system on my '80 special is compatible with a lithium battery or if its liable to start a fire or explode or something? Couldn't really find anything just using Google and I want to be pretty certain before I go and drop some cash on a new battery and it ends...
