very nice "special" ! I am producing the "x start" in France and it is a pleasure to discover such an application ! congratulation. For information ,we supply a charging conversion 12 volt and soon a kit to convert the horn button on the handlebar as a starter button when you start and then horn button when the engine is running !

In 1978 i bought a XT500. Put 90k miles on it, then the crank case cracked and the transmission shafts got out of line, and would not shift! The bike was super clean and the polished aluminum tank was un dented. sold for $200 US. I have heard that the fuel tanks in pristine condition are selling for $1000+ US! I wish I had a disc brake back then Nice build!

Hello there, this was a very nice restoration. Which 12V rechargable battery did you use? Was this the one supplied with the starter kit (SOLISE BM12005) or any other?

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 ай бұрын

When we purchased the kit there was no rechargeable option, it’s an aftermarket battery

@yamahattr2500 3 ай бұрын

@@PurposeBuiltMotoof course, they supply a SOLISE battery which is charged via a charger that you plug on your house socket. So, now that the battery is charged via the stator's lighting coil, which exact aftermarket Li battery did you use and what kind of 12V rectifier? Ok, I can understand if what I'm asking could be considered as a classified info, though just wondering how you dealt with the overcharging issue that a Li battery faces...

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 ай бұрын

XT start now supply kits with 12v conversion and rechargeable battery from the stator. There are a lot of intricacies with running lithium batteries that I don’t give advice on. You will need to do your own research of your go that way and upgrade the charging system

@alexapostoli569 3 ай бұрын

What a fantastic project bike! Typically when you decrease offset you increase trail, which slows the steering and increases stability, assuming steering head/fork angle stays the same. Is that noticeable on this build?
