The flasher relay only has 2 pins.
Still not sure what this is, either an electric start relay or a regulator. Hopefully, either way, I don't need it.

The finned thingy has the 8 way connector block & 7 wires you mentioned Tony, so is presumably a later combined rectifier/regulator.

Some flasher relays have 2 pins, some have 3. I looked at ebay USA under XS650 parts http://motors.shop.ebay.com/Motorcycle-Parts-/10063/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A12%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A4390&rt=nc&_nkw=xs+650&_dmpt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&_sticky=1&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_sop=10&_sc=1to try and identify parts I wasn't sure of, and that's where the pics of (XS650) the flasher relay came from, and they had 3. The other widget - not really sure what it is, sorry. If it's a regulator (ones I saw had the round piece on it as well), its not needed as you have the combined regulator/rectifier (the 8-way plug with 7 wires with big heat sink) If its a relay for the starter, you still don't need it! If its something else -  ? |

So these are the parts I need to fit in my electrics box?
I'd say yes apart from the coil. Prob advisable to keep the HT away from the sensitive electronics of the Boyer and regulator/rectifier. Guess you could have the box divided so the sensitive stuff is one side and the HT the other, but bear in mind the heat sink of the regulator/rectifier unit has disspate it's heat, and coil needs to be able to stay (relatively) cool too, which is why they're (the coils) are usually, to some degree, out in the open. Personal view would be to mount the coil where the originals were. |

The original pair of coils mounted on the bracing tube under the fuel tank, which we've replaced with a length of ERW tube cos it was so damn ugly & sits at an odd angle as standard, (normally hidden by the standard fuel tank). So I don't really want to put it there, but could sling it under the electrics box, along with the reg/rec unit.
Not sure if I've explained it well, but I plan to hang a platform under the seat for the electrics with the "box" simply a pair of covering side panels, (actually welded together at the front edge & held with a couple of Dzus fasteners). So I can make the platform half the depth of the side panels & mount components above & below it, but still hidden by the panels.

Your idea of coil position/mounting should be fine  sounds like where it'll be it should be protected from tyre spray too. Worth double checking the coil you have has removable HT leads cos you're gonna need some long uns ............. |

Used to use inline HT lead joiners to extend leads. Basically a plastic tube with a brass screw in each end. Screw the old lead in one end & the new length in the other. Job done.

Used to sell loads of those, In the wet they were almost guaranteed to shock but the newer ones seem better waterproofed. Still with the coils mounted under your arse you'd better be careful how you route the HT leads.  |

You don't have to be thick to need someone who knows what they're doing to wire up a bike!

Bought these a week or so ago from a guy on Ebay who casts pieces in aluminium.
Manifolds to fit my vintage British mark 1 Amal carbs to the Yamaha engine.
