    You can use a combined Solid State Rectifier/Regulator for 1980-84 XS650. You are just combining two components into one.

    danny, you need both.

    If you want more info on this, go to 650rider and do a search (not the google search bar at the top of the page, but the search that is in small letters located beneath the thread list. type in “kick start only”, select “search for all terms”, and select “electric” in Forums. You should find everything you need, including some solid wiring diagrams.

    Alternately, you could check throw the “Vault” in Forums and you’ll find an archive of wiring diagrams there.

    Good luck.
