1978 Yamaha XS650

Just installed my solid state rec/reg to the stock wiring harness. What do I do with the "safety relay"? Can I take it off or do I have to use it?

Sooo here is how I decided to mount my seat. Very sturdy but very easy to take off.

The seat is a manx racing replica seat. Usually you can get them from clubman racing but I was impatient while they were out of stock so I ordered mine from the UK...
 
bike is looking awesome. hahahah those were the exact filters i had.............until the girlfriend thought they were old sponges and threw them out lol

Whew! Now that the hard work is over with I'll be coming down to SC to ride it ;D

Looks great...straight pipe revving vid please haha
 
Thanks guys yeah I really like those filters. Still a few things I gotta do to make it a rider. New shorter cables, just put the chain on today, and tune the carbs. So basically just the finishing touches here and there.
Captmilk76: are you talking about the size of the stripe the out sides or the middle stripe or the white space between the red stripes?
 
Re: 1978 Yamaha XS650

Sizes of each strip, I bought one off ebay and it seems too big, I love how yours looks

Sliced in by my Droid Razr
 
Welllll I am unfortunately not the painter. But I know he laid down tape on the outside of the red then put pinstripe tape down both sides to make the white space between the stripes. I can measure how thick they are and get back to you.
 
And my stickers finally came in. I think they look pretty decent. Also added a new gas cap, chrome bar top, chrome steering stem bolt and renthal grips.
