Alright guys. I bought a 1980 XS650, running well whenever I bought it. Of course it doesn't run now because it's in 1,000 pieces. So here we go!
P.S. Sorry I didn't have the forethought in taking pictures of the bike before I started stripping it. So just imagine a stock 80 XS650 Special II.
Right now I'm trying to find a wiring schematic and help on wiring a NO battery bike.... Any suggestions? Anyone near College Station, TX willing to help?

Sure did! To accept +4" fork tubes. Yeah well I actually have another project on the back burner. A 1979 CX500
More pics though. I'm assembling it to get an idea of where I need to make welds and placement of things before powdercoating the frame and other parts. Gloss black on the frame and flat on the accents.
Like I said before though. I'm still nervous about the wiring. That is something I'm very unfamiliar with. I guess I better get familiar with it huh?

The pipes came from mikes xs. I'm leaving them that length the only thing I'll do to them is heat wrap them. And of course mount them.
The next step is to mount the extended forks. I'm just waiting till they get back from powdercoat and reassembled. Which is hopefully Tuesday (24th) or Wednesday at the latest.

Yeah you like that? I was going to do it in the spare bedroom, but I figured I'd end up ruining the carpet sooner or later.
Anyone want to make some adapter plates for my forward controls? I have a stencil for what I need.
Picked this up on Egay
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...MEWAX%3AIT
I know it's not very original, but it was cheap (compared to new) and it leaves the option open to run the bike rear fenderless.

Alright after following a thread over at the Garage I have ordered some parts to set up a Permanent Magnet Alternator.
On top of that I'm going to be putting an order into Mikes for a Pamco High Output Ignition kit with the advance set up included. So that way I can run this babe without a battery.
As of right now though I do have one question. Am I correct in thinking that I will have to crack the case to install the Pamco kit? It says that I need to install bushings and a seal (included) and if I'm not mistaken these go on the camshaft?
I hope I don't have to crack the case, but if I do then it will at least give me the chance to powdercoat the cover and install the performance camshaft.

If you want to install another cam then the head has to come off, (remove motor). ................If you are installing the advance weight's rod the Take off the shiny covers, Cam Covers), off the end of the cam..install the bushings inside the cam, (no removal of the seals will be needed), Grease the shaft, (Put a bit of grease in the cam before installing the shaft), and slide in through the Cam making sure the Pamco will be on the right hand side and the advance weights will be on the left..........That is sitting on the bike

- i used something similar to this for my batteryless pamco setup
- alternator - RD350 permag
- ign unit - pamco
- capacitor - 25V, 10000uF from a KTM with screw fittings
- this diagram is missing the 2nd brake light switch, horn and blinkers, all simple additions

Wow. Thanks a lot guys. I think I am FINALLY beginning to capably visualize the wiring on the bike. Ok well good. If I don't have to open the case then I am not going to crack the case till I do a total engine overhaul, later down the road.
Thanks a lot skull for clarifying that for me. And despecial thanks a lot for the edited diagram. Is the RD350 a single phase stator or three phase? I picked up the Banshee bracket and rotor plus a vf500 stator with the vf500 reg/rect.

Will someone do me a huge favor and take a pic of the clutch mechanism on the inside of the alternator cover?

For some reason I can't get the front wheel to line up and stay lined up. Should the fork tubes be capable of spinning when installed on the slider?
On another note the front tire is on! Pic up

What stops me from using a "50" roller chain to replace the oem drive chain? Any reason I wouldn't want to do that?
Also is the front brake line union necessary for anything other than mounting?

I am running one, in as much as its on the bike which has a dead motor ... it costs like 20 bucks for a 10ft length and industrial grade stuff is often very well made and very durable.
Cool.
