I cut my stock fender like that on a 750 and made it completely useless in the rain. It would shoot the water up right in my face. [ATTACH]
You need to slide the button down, not in. At least that's how it works on my 83 750 maxim.
rear wheel* haha
Spring Update: I ended up staying with the stock controls as suggested above. I did have to make a custom choke cable to avoid the control hitting...
The kawasaki tank looks the best imho. The black rear hump fits well too.
I haven't gotten to any of the cables yet. I wanted to get the wiring sorted before tackling that. I'll definitely need to stop by again this...

Are you still using the block mounted temp sensor? If so could you give me a little more information on which one you used?

That is very true. I use a usb adapter for my battery tender cable to charge while a ride. It works for me. Waze seems to adapt the route better...

Sorry for the confusion. The field coil was still ohming open across the rings when I tested it. The only reason I tried it is because I needed to...
That is with the original field coil.
I charged the battery overnight and brought it in to a auto parts store to have it tested. It tested good. I checked the field coil and could...
Well the bike left me stranded today. After putting about 600 miles on the whole rebuild the battery stopped charging. During the rebuild I...

I finally got the bike idling correctly. I ended up going through the carbs with a fine tooth comb to look for anything out of place. I ended up...
After I pulled the rotor I cleaned the communicator rings some more and I was able to get a good reading with the rotor in spec. I replaced the...
I cleaned the commutator rings and tried to get a reading on the rotor. I could not get a good reading. I would just go up and down and did not...
I checked resistance at the lead in wires
Just checked the stator and it is toasted. The connector was melted together and I found debris in the alternator cover. Resistance between the...
Here's a wall of text for my day working on the bike. I did pull the carbs today to check them out. Everything looked good. I broke the rack...
Thank you for the clarification. If I understand correctly the idle screws are the reason this is happening?
I am not sure I fully understand what you are saying. You think that the RPMs rise because the engine is misfiring? Yes it acts the same after a ride.
I replaced the petcock with a non vacuum petcock from XJ4ever. I believe just leaving it on overnight was the issue there. I also rebuilt the gas...
It was on the center stand both times. I left the petcock "on" overnight and now I smell gas in the oil.
I was thinking it was oil burning because the level dropped from a bubble at the top of the sight glass to the very bottom of the sight glass. But...
I got the bike put back together this weekend. I am still having issues with a hanging idle and burning oil. There is a lot of white smoke coming...
I tried loosening and torquing the acorns on the head to solve the leak but it did not seem to help. I am planning on buying a replacement head...
I replaced the petcock with an aftermarket non vacuum petcock from Len at XJ4ever. All four ports have caps on them.

While trying to locate the vacuum leak today I noticed the head is leaking oil at cylinder 1. After running for just a few minutes it began to...
I did bench sync the carbs before the vacuum sync and the readings were pretty close. Adjusting the sync screws didn't seem to make much of a...

The gauges I bought came with with bleeder screws and I was able to control the needle movement.
Yes that is on the list to do when I install the lights. I did not have any luck syncing the carbs today. They were not drawing enough vacuum...
