From what I've read the 86 bags won't fit mk1. It's listed as an 85 but could be an 86. Here are some pics, black bike is my 84

Hey guys, I found a running, complete 85 for cheap money. I want to put subs in the bags but my 84 is the vertical opening kind. This 85 has horizontally opening bags, anyone know if they'll fit? I could use a parts bike but can't find an interchange guide and want to make sure everything fits.

Maybe an upgraded stator would do the trick? I've seen a few aftermarket kicking around

Update in case anyone reads this with the same problem- I ended up snapping the top part of the ignition switch off (VERY CAREFULLY) and getting a grip on the threaded end of the screw with vices to get it out. It ended up being a hell of a lot easier than taking the fairing apart. Very nice to finally have a working key again and be able to lock the forks!

I'm pretty set against having anything in ear while I ride, I just don't like not being able to hear what else is going on around me. I'll probably go with a pair of PL42BLs if nobody has speakers to recommend, definitely look like the most waterproof bang for your buck. As for the receiver, has anyone ever stuck a double din touchscreen system in theirs? Measurement wise it looks like it would fit, and I've found some marine grade ones. My only concern would be too much of a power draw. I found a good candidate that has a built in amp, it would take some modifying and storage would be slim, but boy would that be neat....

Moreso looking to replace the audio system than use earbuds/headphones. I found a nice(kinda expensive) set of 4" kickers that I've been eyeing. Trying to find a vertically oriented receiver but I'm not seeing much online...

I haven't had my bike very long, but since I picked it up I've wanted to put a better audio system in. Just checking in to see what everyone's using and looking for a little guidance. I definitely want to replace the amp/speakers/ cassette/radio setup, have people gutted the cassette/radio put a smaller bluetooth receiver/radio in with room for phone storage (or amp storage instead if needed)? I'm gonna go ahead and guess nothing's really plug and play that I could buy and stick in.

Oh wow. I'll have to rewire them to make it more easily accessible. I haven't been working on bikes very long, even though I've caught on quickly, I still have to have my mentor handle the electrical aspect of things for now.

Was gonna say, I'm not familiar with this bike just yet, but that looked excessive. The harness transplant into my XS earlier last year took maybe 4 hours tops but that looks like an absolute nightmare. All the fuses should be inside the battery cover, right? I just feel like I'm missing something.

I haven't seen fuses that look like that....then again, I haven't taken the fairing completely apart yet. Waiting for a nicer day to ride it down to the shop. Tomorrow's Superbowl Sunday and we're close to mass so it would be sacrilegious to do anything but watch the game. Is that what the stock wiring looks like under everything? I pretty much had an aneurysm just looking at it....

Thanks! Happy to be aboard, great to see that people are actually on here unlike the XS11 forums I tried to join. I replaced all the old fuses when the main fuse blew conveniently right after my 12 hour ride home from buying it in December. There's a solid red which is the headlight and gear indicator, it's the only one I haven't replaced as of yet. Did you mean red/black? That's the only one I have that isn't labeled and according to the only circuit diagrams I can find goes to aux & audio.

I use JIS on this bike and my XS11. I just say phillips out of habit. The screw was already stripped by the P.O. (He's allegedly the only owner and bought it new, but everywhere I look there are stripped screws and zipties so I doubt it's been shop maintained like he said) Still.....for $500 I can't say I got a bad deal all things considered.

Definitely going to check if it's getting power from the r/b wires first and foremost when I get to the shop, then check the power to the connecting pins if it's getting it at the aux fuse. I'm planning on replacing the whole thing with upgraded speakers/bluetooth/higher capacity amp anyways. It just kinda sucks that I don't have tunes for the time being.

I brought it to a locksmith and he found it was too corroded and rusted together to salvage it...I don't mind having a separate key for the ignition and everything else.

After tearing the left side fairing apart, I still haven't found anything. The acc fuse goes to the cigarette lighter, and everything else on the bike works so I doubt it shares a fuse with anything else. There's an unlabeled fuse I put on the block, I believe it was in a rubber case with a spare, anyone know if that's it? I'm gonna check it. Unfortunately I don't have a multimeter handy to see if the left side is even getting power, but no lights work and no sound comes out at all so it seems like it's a fuse or something. The fuse in question has red wires that go into a connector that's black and red. Edit-just found a diagram...looks like it's the aux fuse and it goes to the audio. I'm going to take another look at that wiring.
