Dax, I don't really recall exactly how I ended up fixing the issue I had, but I do have the final diagram that I made for the bike and the harness I designed around the M-Unit. I'll post it here as an attachment. I also never just stuck wires into the terminals of the M-Unit, but instead...

So. The Athena gaskets are deffinitely thinner and less quality, The Athena vale cover gasket requires RTV. Which is annoying, becasue then you never want to take off the valve cover, because of how messy the job is gonna be. The OEM gaskets have held up great. They ended up being the way...

Yep. Thanks Sonic. I took apart the solenoid and the backside was melted too. I called the local shop and they had a universal solenoid capable of handling double the amperage, the bike runs much better. Thanks for the suggestion

I was out in Santa Cruz last weekend, and had an odd electrical problem. My bike ran fine all the way to SC and then once there it started to lurch... The power was cutting out. It was loosing electrical current, and the lights on my gauges were going out then back on, then out, then back...

I've seen these on EBay. Anyone have any experience with them? http://www.ebay.com/itm/360661925849?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

My only problem with buying harley stuff is that they never mention sizes, only models... How am I supposed to know if a dyna headlight is what I have since I don't own a dyna nor know anyone with one? I also believe that with the few parts I have been able to find scattered across the...

I've got this light I'd like to use, but it's missing parts. I don't know where to start because there are a ton of different light parts available from all over the place. Can anyone identify this light for me? it's 6 3/4" OA. I need a new bezel and glass. Thanks for the help.

SO I got the Barnett springs and replaced them during an oil change over the weekend. It seems to have solved my issues. SO much so that I can now pull the front wheel off the ground from a stop without trying... I did not get into the plates. I didn't have the time or energy to do that...

Ahhh. That it would. Might be a fun thing to do anyway. Even for a limited benefit. Thanks for the input. Springs are on their way. I'm Guessing that may just be the key. I've created a lot more power in a bike that weighs a lot less now. The springs don't particularly feel soft, but...

Sand Blast the metal plates? I'll have to look into that. Please do get back to me on the extra one. I'd love to know more about that. I'm thinking that the clutch is in pretty good shape as it is. If I get the new springs in there and the metal plates sanded, I would believe it will jump...

I'm browsing and trying to do a Google search for those springs. Looks like they are available but only by clicking on the part number on a site that has no description as to what it is you're buying... The Barnette page says they are for a cb750sc. What is the sc denoting? Will these work...

Thank you so much for the input. I'm ordering those today!!!

Awesome. I think I'll try that first. Are the Barnette pretty fool proof? Just a simple replacement?

I hadn't thought of doing that. I'm pretty happy with my clutch now, but in 4th and fifth gear on the freeway, it can slip if I twist the throttle too fast... You think new springs may solve that issue...? Thanks

I'm looking to upgrade my clutch soon. I am having a hard time finding anything but stock or OEM clutches out there. I've built up my motor, and my whole bike for that matter to get better performance out of it. Does anyone know of a good aftermarket clutch that will work in a 1982 Honda...

Yeah unless there's a local shop that is adept at the rephase and they have good labor rates, it's not something I'll be getting into. I do think rephasing the motor is a pretty great idea otherwise.

Dennis, Thanks for the wealth of info. Based on what we discussed, I believe I will leave the motor as is. Unless, you know of a shop locally that can do the work for me, including the tear down and rebuild, while using the original parts. I don't want to get into it so much as to replace...

Hughs looks like just what I am looking for. Does anyone know a shop in California that will do that kind of service? I'd like to deliver my motor and have it done for me. Otherwise I may wait to get the service done, if done by a shop that I have to send my parts out to.

I bought a great little xs650 Special just a few days ago. It's in the perfect shape for a whole custom build. I've read about the rephasing of this motor, and I love the idea of doing a 277 rephasing. The motor has sat for 23 years, but it only has 10,000 miles on it. I'm thinking I may...

Just got the Stock head gasket in the mail today. There is a pretty huge difference between the Athena Gasket and the Stock one. Here's a pic: The stock gasket is MLS and coated around the Galley. The Athena is paper with metal rings around the combustion chambers.
