    XS1100 forks on '81 XS650 using XV920R tree!

    I found a spec for the fork travel online someplace. Don't remember now what the travel was listed at, but I do remember it was 50mm more than my '81 650. The main reason I did it though was to get the 37mm forks.

    XS1100 forks on '81 XS650 using XV920R tree!

    Yep I checked The steering stop when I had things pre-assembled there like in the pics, they don't hit squarely but they do stop. I won't know if they will be enough until I put some bars on it and a tank of course. If I need to add some material to the frame mounted stop, I'll update This post...

    XS1100 forks on '81 XS650 using XV920R tree!

    Hey everyone! Look what I did!! I'm planning on using my XS as a dual-purpose bike with a high mounted front fender, meaning I won't have the low fender to help with bracing. So, I figured I'd be wise to use a bigger diameter forks. I wanted to retain the stock mag front wheel, and retain the...

    TCI Replacement 2020 It Works

    Yamadude, I don't think you can have them sent to you in a standard envelope. The magnets will get stuck in the Postal Service sorting machinery which reads and sorts the envelopes. I don't think the envelope will make it back to you.

    What jets for BS34's & 6" Uni's?

    Perfect, 5twins! Just the info I was looking for! Thanks! I have stock exhaust for now, but some rust holes will probably make me a little lean. So I'll step up to 137.5 on mains and stay stock on the pilots, start from there. Won't be long until I order a set of those Emgo Commando mufflers...

    What jets for BS34's & 6" Uni's?

    Yes I guess I remember reading that. I kind of was hoping to hear from someone who has actually put Uni's on their BS34's. It kind of sounded like the writer of that article was venturing a guess on the 34's when he says "it's been said", "so I would start at least 2 sizes up". Also, he seems to...

    What jets for BS34's & 6" Uni's?

    Hi all, I searched this and couldn't find anything pertaining to BS34's, so don't flame me please! I have an '81 650H with stock jetting on BS34's (132.5 mains, 42.5 pilots). It's not currently running but when I go back together with it I'll be using the long 6" Uni double layer filters & no...

    Alternator Disable Mod.

    I thought of a new question about this "disable the alternator until started" issue: If I use a method, any method, to disable the rotor field windings until started, does the yellow wire going out of the stator still generate it's 4 volts or more to trip the safety relay? Or does it need the...

    Alternator Disable Mod.

    Thanks for the quick response! I'm planning a bobber/rat but want to retain electric start. I've sourced a couple little tiny AGM batteries that are rated at 55cca each (Zuma scooter batteries) running them in parallel I'm hoping to have 100cca, so I'll be conserving as much power at startup as...

    Alternator Disable Mod.

    Jim, I like where you are going with this, and think I'll incorporate this setup on my '81 H. I think switching the relay off the starter solenoid output is smart, but I think I would not want to interrupt the voltage sensing wire for the regulator, or more precisely, would not want to...
