Not to be a pain but ordered before Christmas.... Waiting on a confirmation or an update on when, Jan. 7th and counting .

OK so last entry before being gone again for a while. Fuse was blown, no short in system. Finding notes on bottem of seat that indicated from 1976 XS. Had added washers to seat and latch to "jack" it up from frame rails. Not enough. Seat pan was riding on the fuse panel pushing plastic top into...

So instead of my normal 5am go to work got delayed to 8am. Out to the shop and checking fuses. Yes non-detectible by the eye but VOM showed the way. 10 amp signal fuse was gone. So now when I get back home will grab a couple to see what's going on. if blows again quickly, will start the hunt for...

Copy that. Used Mike,s harness which wired in fine. Yes plastic fuse block on top of battery. 1979 from all indications . Will start with the fuse's, then on to short. Left side handlebar switch ? Bike gets a lot of use until the next problem crops up.....

Ok it's been a while because I have been riding the He-- out of the bike for a month or so. RUNS GREAT after installing electrical ignition and PMA unit. Cleaned carbs, new wiring harness, and many more up-grades. Was riding the other day and noticed no turn signals, no neutral and got home...

Sync'd carbs, checked valves, installed PAMCO unit. custom mount to move horn between downtube's, custom mount for the dual coil set up, below the original coil mounts, basically where the horn was. Like the way wires from coil go over and around both sides of the head before termination to...

Just got done with a 79, put in the PMA unit and am on to the PAMCO set. Had the same issue with the safety relay portion of the cicuit. Spliced onto the single portion of the PMA leads and seems to activate the relay fine "SO FAR". Took a reading at the lead and got prox 6.54 volts, was told it...

This was not one of the issues. Every thing worked except the light portion of the relay. Started fine ran fine but no headlight. Have run for a while with a splice in the stator(PMA) leads and seem to have no problems yet. If there had been an issue with the started portion of the relay would...

Ok enough for the night. Spliced in a lead into one of the 3 legs coming from the stator. Seems to have no effect on voltage output. At idle about 12.45, at 1500 about 12.99 to 13.1. Any thing over voltage starts climbing to a max output of 14.49 give or take. Safety relay works as before. No...

So far no smoke no heat and the relay seems to be working with a splice wire in one of the three stator leads..... will run more test on voltage later, time for a break...

Took a quick voltage read and came out with 6.54 volts, working on a splice wire to see if it works.....

Read through multiple replys and was on my way to that next. Took time off to cool the brain a little. All the talk of bridge rectifiers, three legs, 6 volt / wild voltage... Plugging along

Any way to eliminate the relay?

Been through a friends 1979 XS 650 multiple times. Have replaced wiring harness(new), new stator 6 years ago. Rotor was going so replaced the whole thing with a PMA setup. Great charges at 13.67 at idle. That never happened before. But the question is since the yellow wire from old setup runs...
