I'm currently rescuing an '87 Indiana 650, it was beyond restoration as it was heavily corroded and the chrome plating was partially off the engine casings. I've attached a before and current status. I'm looking for advice on a couple of things :- 1. What does anyone think of these 2. What oil quantity should I fit to the forks- they are standard with new seals- I forgot or lost the oil quantity on the way out. 3. Does anyone have a wiring diagram, as the electrics are completely butchered Thanks David C Ireland
I can't help with your requests David but that is a damn sight nicer in the new paint job and with the different seat, looks cool now and I didn't like their look before, just shows what a bit of imagination can do
i cant help either. they were a pretty hideous thing, but as WCP says, it looks vastly better already. it could actually look quit cool and certainly unique when finished. good luck and keep the pics coming.
Agreed, a huge improvement. The Indiana's were seriously ugly. I would think that the wiring would be very similar to the Pantahs. I have a 500SL colour diagram of it's any good to you.
Thanks Folks, I managed to find a schematic for a modified rectifier installation, which shows most of what I need. My next move is to fit an AceWell speedo and rewire all to suit. I have painted the engine and put it back together c/w new belts, tensioner bearings etc Next time I'm in the workshop I'll load up a couple of close ups

I decided to go with an SS750 rear hugger (to be modified) a tracker type flat seat and I've made an under tray for the area over the wheel. I also polished the swing arm. The seat and hugger will be with me in a few weeks- so I can't really build up the rear much further. Next is to re-wire and get the brakes and clutch hydraulically finished and give it a start
Have wrapped the rear exhaust and fitted the heat proof battery box base. I think I'll make up a heat shield for the compartment, as the rear cylinder is now facing the area that will house the battery. This would have been protected by the air box in the past.
Thanks for that, I've printed it out for clarity. Don't suppose you have the oil quantity for the forks? thanks again David C
The seat arrived and the dimensions are a bit close to the sub-frame, so I've had to cut out what I had previously done and made a new hoop and under tray. I've fitted the lights and made up a filler for the side cover gap. I'll wrap this in carbon Fibre. Should be moving on to wiring as soon as I have the cycle parts complete. I'll have to think of something for the saddle to tank gap- possibly a polished aluminium spacer
