Wouldn't it be lovely if things were simple..... Thanks. Made harder as I'm also fitting the M Gadget unit into the mix :/ But as I've decided to make a brand new loom rather than using current one I guess I just take it one step at a time :)

So, I'm wanting to fit an Acewell 2853 but am stuck before I even start. I've looked at the wiring diagram but that's no help :( 1. When wiring I'm assuming the feed to the high beam and indicators splice in after the switch but before clock on their diagram? But before or after relay...

Been parting the rest out, and it's flying out so great as keeps cost of conversion down :) But I can't find a front wheel for second generation that matches the rear wheel for first generation :( and the brake disc figment are different between 1st & 2nd

Here is my other bike

So, I have a 1982 xv750 with italic wheels and a 1984 xv700 with wire wheels. I'm putting the 700 engine into the 1982 frame, that all seems like a straight swap in theory. The problem is the wheels.... I'm wanting to put the 1984 (second generation) forks onto the 1982 (first generation)...

About £300 to have a rim made but thinking a cheap xs wheel rim would be perfect :)

Hey guys, Anyone know of any wheels that fit the virago?.... I have the 15" rear wheel but that's too small and want more like a 17" Or is it something that would need to be done at a wheel builder using the 15" as a donor?

Thanks, have been told of someone closer but if that doesn't pan out I will certainly be in touch :)

Help! Really struggling to find someone who can do a simple top yoke. I'm changing to forks from a xv1100 on my xv750 but to yoke is ugly! Will be using clip ons hence need to change. I'm sure somewhere out there ones from another bike would fit but no info on that hence needing one made...

Been thinking about using a top and bottom from another bike as I'm moving over to clip ons on my xv750. After a lot of thought my conclusion is as follows: You can use any as long as the distance from clamp to clamp is the same and as long as any change in offset does not cause the wheel to...

I'd assume he wants the mono shock frame maybe?

I'm also looking to buy an 1100 to convert as well.... Hmmmm..... So much I want to do but so little space....

Will read those links, thanks Redbird :)

I'm currently working on the 1982 xv750 but would prefer more power hence the thought....

Hey guys, Has anyone taken a 1100 engine from the 90's and put it into a 750 mono shock frame? Would like to know what has to be done to make that doable?
