Starter Relay Replacement,

[whynot2]

I have a 1981 XS650H. It is mostly stock. I am attempting to replace the fried starter relay with the MikesXS part # 24-6526. It is NOT a direct replacement. The brackets are very different. Has anyone used this part in a stock setup? How did you attach it?
If not this part, what did you use and where did you get it?
Thanks,

After venting: It looks like I can "adjust the bracket" so that one end can be attached at the original hole. The other end will just be jammed in and vibrating. Still looking for better solution.

Personally, I'd buy a nice used one from one of the many, many guys who have gone to kick only. The failure rate on these isn't very high. In fact, yours is one of the first I've heard mentioned.

Thanks. There sure are a lot of them on eBay.
