That Mikesxs relay looks like it would work fine, but you'll have to splice the plug on from the old solenoid and figure out how to mount it. A car (Ford) solenoid would also work, but it is probably a bit larger, and again, mounting issues. There's a bunch on eBay if you'd wanna go that route....

If you just want to start the bike to hear it run, turn on the key and touch the two heavy cables at the solenoid together, and the bike should crank.2H7 (79) owned since '89

If you cannot find one, pop in at your local scooter dealer. All of the scooters has them and match one up from there.'79 XS1100 (2H9) named Bones
