Very excited for you. I too have brand new Lasertech's installed and between the weather and life, have only put about 25 miles on them

What is this FUSE BLOCK from Topcat? Is this a member mod?

Ahhh I did see that one and also another but the email address listed is no longer valid. I'll try the internet and see if I can order this one. Stuck in Iraq so have to do it all online.

Thanks for the help.

No, I just bought a new harness a while back before I found this site. The bike has been sitting for 20 years or more. I travel a lot so haven't had time to do much. Been in Iraq 3 years now so hope to get it going next summer. It used to be a friends bike since we were in high school and he just parked it when it quit running (electrical) so i took it off his hands after looking at it covered in his garage all those years. Probably get rid of it if I don't work on it as i have others I am working on also.

62 trvler,
If you ride the bike one time, you won't "get rid of it". There are a LOT of bikes out there, but NONE that will do everything the XS1100 will.
Just follow the "tech tips" from the MAIN forum page, and it WILL be running well soon.
Be safe in country!!!

Thanks, I have ridden one. I used to own a brand new 1980 that I got in a crate when i used to work for Yamaha. It was a factory left over and I got it for $2200.00 in 1986 and watched it put together. Unfortunately I sold it when the kids started coming with 2500 miles on it but she served me well and was the smoothest bike I have ever owned. Whipped a mach mustang one day from a light when he started revving his motor. Buried the speedo and left him in the dust....................................I think he may have gone out and bought one the next day. My buddies father used to have one also so we would take it out sometimes when we were low on gas money and do wheelies down the freeway at 70 mph 2 up, it was a full dresser, stupid but you are bullet proof at tjhat age. He was a great driver and thought of getting him into racing with one of my bikes but were older now and his wife might not let him now.

Pick up coil wire fix

I am not aware of this fix. What does it involve?

Speaking of fuse blocks.....

Anyone know what became of the ones Indy Rick used to sell? Direct bolt-in replacement, had the advantage of having circuit name and fuse size etched into the aluminum backing plate. One side was for Standards, other was for Specials...there is a little difference in the circuit order, I understand. Mounting holes all drilled and came with corect size bolts.

I have one on my XJ which I bought in either '99 or 2000. Turned out it doesn't fit under the XJ side cover, but I am looking at using the backing plate with a newer low-profile block. I think Tkat made them for Indy. Anyway, if anyone knows what happened to Indy (Rick Jamison) please let me know.
