    thanks man, the stitch work was done by bens auto glass near Baltimore. They do awesome work and are always busy restoring upholstery in old classic cars.

    The bike looks totally different now i'll try to post some photos this weekend.

    i wanted to give everyone an update on the bike. I am proud to say that i have officially finished working on the bike (for now :rolleyes:) and she rides like a dream.

    I ended up with 3" harley exhaust on the bike that sounds badass. I linked a video below that shows off the sounds. I might have to look into the typical motor whine one day.

    To list what i did and the parts i used:
    • Motogadget m-unit
    • Motogadget button
    • seca 650 tank
    • custom fabricated seat
    • Magazi round mirrors
    • no School Choppers 1933 - 1936 Ford Blacked Out Tail Light & bracket
    • 3800 Lumen H4 LED Headlight bulb cyclopsadventuresports.com
    • Koso TNT speed and tach
    • custom Battery box
    • anti gravity 8 cell battery
    • Progressive springs in the front
    • custom rear fender (+ paint)
    • chopped front fender (+paint)
    • frame loop
    • new seat brakets.
    • Uni Pods
    • signals (i forgot from where)
    • various raw metal @ brackets from tcbros and lowbrow
    • sigma 6 dyno kit
    • arlen ness foot pegs front and rear
    Via Len (chacal)
    • clutch plates & springs + gasket
    • fork seals
    • steering stem bearings
    • carb rebuild kit
    • valve cover gaskets & bolts +_ bumbers/bushings
    • valve shims
    • clutch switch & perch
    • starter rebuild kit
    I would also like to thank the community here as if it wasnt for them i probably would have given up. k-moe, hogfiddles. chacal, bigfitz and you know the rest.
    A special thanks goes out to jayrodoh for helping me wire up the m-unit!

    I just bought the motogadget m-unit and would love to see a diagram you came up with for the xj650. Thanks in advance.

    Most of the connections are straight to and from the m-unit, what ever you do, do not connect the tci to the unit. You will blow out the m-unit. It would be cool if it did control it but nope!

    I'll draw something up tonight as a guide.

    I would like to see your drawing too. I'm very interested in the m-unit for my basically stock 82 maxim 750. I went to LED lights/flasher so I lost the self cancelling function. Also the safety relay system was eliminated by the PO. The clutch switch is gone but I did replace the side stand switch. Now I have the Atari working properly. Will the m-unit affect the Atari function?

    How do you like it so far?

    I checked my notes and i was wrong you do connect it to the TCI. The part i was trying to warn about is do not... connect the aux line out to the starter solenoide. It will draw too much and burn out the aux port.

    I do love it. I just wish i got their hand controls.

    See below.

    I cant take full credit for this. I had help from jayrodoh and used the xj650 minimal wire diagram (green bg)

    I also want to add that there are many different ways to wire it. And this is just one way to do it with minimal relays and keeping all of the saftey options.

    Thank you for sharing this, and to those that came before you and their help. This is the biggest reason why I love this site. Like minded enthusiasts helping each other. You rock! I don't have the m button for my hand switches...been thinking of getting it.

    Definitely post up or PM me if you have some questions. I love electronics and bikes. You're only a few hours from me, will have to meet up this summer once we get these things on the road!

    I think I'm going to have some questions for you about the TCI unit early next week sybe...I got the taillight and rear turn signals wired up today. Moving slow, but want it done right.
