xr650r headlight options

I have few of these bikes and installed xrl shrouds, works great, is Honda with bright and cheap lights. Always room for some big desert designs if budget gives allowance.

European vs American XR650R headlight

Can anyone confirm that there is indeed a difference in the OEM Honda XR650R headlight in the European version vs the American version?

I’m in the process of planning a street legal conversion build in here the states and really like this headlight or an aftermarket like this. It’s my understanding that this larger light came stock in the bikes sold in Europe. I like the idea of having the option of being able to use the various aftermarket 4”x6” LED lamps. I’d like to find one of these light shrouds for my build.

P.S. if this is your bike I used for this picture I’d like to know more about your build :)

Full DC conversion question

Doing a full DC conversion on my XR650R with a Ricky Stator, Baja Designs regulator/rectifier, Tusk dual sport kit, fan, and battery setup.

Battery, Tusk harness, and regulator/rectifier are all connected together on the same positive/negative bus connections.

When the bike is OFF, everything works perfectly off the battery. But once the bike is running, voltage becomes extremely unstable — jumping between ~11V, 13V, 18V, even 19V.

The Baja Designs reg/rec is brand new. Stator is older but was working properly before the conversion.

Main things I’m wondering:

- Does the Baja Designs regulator/rectifier need its body grounded directly to the frame?

- Or should the black ground wire back to battery negative already be sufficient?

- Could this simply be a loose/bad ground somewhere?

- Any other common XR650R full DC conversion issues that could cause this?

Trying to narrow down whether this is:

  1. grounding issue

  2. bad connection

  3. floating ground conversion issue

  4. faulty reg/rec despite being new

Any insight appreciated.

Throttle shaft seal

How many people have had or know of throttle shaft seals turning into an air leak, thinking this is my issue but seems pretty uncommon.

Did the carb spray test and the choke side shaft seal raises idle, cant get bike to idle without the choke.

Wiring questions on 01

I’ve had this XR for the last four years and thinking about freshening up a few things. I want to get the rear brake light running, which requires adding a brake switch. Figured I would look under the seat to see what the wiring looks like, and noticed these three wires under electrical tape. Does anyone have any clue what these wires go to? Tried looking at a couple wiring diagrams, but the colors seemed off.
