5T, where does one find the rubber lined clamp, and what was the born purpose for the one you use?A couple more things - drilling your disc will greatly improve how it works when wet, help a little when dry too. You may not feel the need to replace it then, I never did - but I do want them drilled. And consider re-routing your front brake line. Keep it in front of the lower tree like you have it, just route it behind that beauty plate like so .....
On the front of the lower tree, there are a couple drilled and tapped holes from where the original line splitter mounted. You can add a rubber lined clip there to route the line through .....
Raymondo, do you have a lathe or access to one?
The seller's description does not make it clear if this is type A or B. In fact, about all it says is
Compatible with:
From what 5T says, which I believe over an ebay seller, there would not be one unit suitable for all those years of XS650. Hmmm.
- Yamaha XS650 1978-1983
If you pm me your address I’ll make you a couple and send them.Unfortunately, no. I will have a look on line for the camshaft bushes. Thanks for asking.

But, have managed to buy a pair of camshaft bushes. From a seller in Germany. The description even helpfully says Required for fitting Boyer. Often missing 1980-85
Now just have to see how long international postage takes in, uhm, the present circumstances.
PS Rasputin - we crossed in the post! Thank you for your very kind offer but I won't cancel the order just placed.
You should be OK. I’m sure the Boyer set up is just a piece of 8mm all thread, not sure without looking if Boyer provide stepped collars. The inside dia of Yamahas original bushes are bigger than 8mm so you will need the stepped collars off your set up anyway. In short you don’t need the bushes.But, have managed to buy a pair of camshaft bushes. From a seller in Germany. The description even helpfully says Required for fitting Boyer. Often missing 1980-85

To see what years a part may fit, they simply refer to the Yamaha parts diagrams - and those diagrams are wrong, lol. The electrical parts diagram for the '78 and '79 Special models show the later combined reg/rec.
