Toomuch and BBS, thanks for the replies. I called Rick's, again very nice, but the lady didn't know what the purpose of the 3 wires are nor did she have access to that info. The only thing she could tell me were how the Oem colors match to the Rick's plug. I read this-...

Toomuch- thanks for sharing, that is how Rick's told me to wire it when I called the other day. I hope to have mine running the the next week or so and will wire it like you have written to see what results I get. Another question. When you swapped wires to make your harness match the...

Toomuch- Thanks for the reply and for the help. I look forward to what your cheat sheet says. Regards, Clint

Looks like we are in a similar situation. See my post "Rick's reg/rec" a few below yours. Can you tell me how your Oem wire colors match to the Rick's wire color for the regulator? Thanks in advance, Clint

Forgot to add I have a 1981 special

Good evening, It has been a long time since I have posted on here. 2 moves, 2 promotions and getting married left my poor xs in storage in my dads shop. We recently found out we are expecting our first child and I decided to heed some advice from a good friend, " if you have any projects...

Wtb mechanical advance unit for a pre tci bike. I see some on ebay but would like to try here first. Thanks, Clint

Bump, still looking for a rear spoke or a complete rear wheel if cheap. Thanks, Clint

No worries, Greasey. Hopefully someone has one.

No one has a rear spoke? It doesn't have to be in great shape.

Thanks Onetype. I will give it a try and see what happens. Regards, Clint

Thanks drewpy and Onetype. I am just going to leave it be then. Onetype, one last question, did you connect the wire together where the diode was, thus removing the diode or should I keep them apart? Regards, Clint

Hmmm, when I turn the key on, the headlight and tail light come on. As far as running lights, I removed the stock turn signals and replaced with single filament signals, so no running lights. I am not sure if that is what you were asking. Regards, Clint

Thanks for the reply drewpy. I understand but the diode was missing completely and the wires the diode connects to were not making a connection. That is what I am wondering about. Regards, Clint

Hey guys. I was tidying up the wiring today on my xs and I noticed that the headlight diode was missing. I have searched thru the forum and I have found some info on it but everyone else who had a problem with the diode, their headlight wasn't working. Mine does work so, of course I am going...
