Sourced and installed the parts from an RD350LC PMA into my blue rat some years ago . Used. Old. And still good. Very happy with it.
A year or so ago I picked up a nice low mileage 77 D. Ridden a few miles every year. Complete paper record. Had some charging issues.
About this time Ants from the British XS650 forum began providing new PMA units for a good price. 200W. Complete with rec/reg, a rotor cone key that fit the original XS650 crankshaft and timing marks. (if trying the link dont be put off if you get a blank page – simply reset and it will appear – dont know why it does this but it happens to me all the time)
Was pretty busy for a while and it sat. Eventually got a chance to blow the dust off and begin.
Cut-out and reshaping will be now be done during production.
Also removed the blue neutral indicator wire from the old loom, resheathed it in 4mm isolating sheath and reconnected to the original position. (Plug connector upper left in next pic)
The rectifier too. Sits under the battery box.
The rec/reg, when mounted on the plate, interferes with the sidecover. Modified an old sidecover. Rattlecan-blacked it and it’s mate. Be a shame to mess up a good set of covers
Just got to put some kms on her now to road test before installing a 750 kit that’s been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years.
Had some charging issues in the beginning. Went through and checked the new wiring. Not quite sure what was wrong but the issues disappeared.
More than happy with this.
Update … almost killed my second rear tyre now – no problems – running sweet
Ant’s: This is a good product – once I installed it, 2.5 years ago, I have had no problems .. !!KOOL!!
