I was a little concerned if I was to use it for air. Your input is always appreciated :salute:

Ok, I'm not really that paranoid, but I was looking for some justification for destroying a salvageable compressor. My harbor freight compressor has better stats, but I'm guessing it won't last as long as this one would have. I really just wanted the tanks. I like the "open" frame on café racer...

Ok, it's been a week and a half, and we've had a warmish day or two. Cleaning the radiator has definitely had a positive effect on my cooling system but it is not quite enough for traffic. It looks like I'm going to have to put a proper fan on the front of the radiator. With the riding season...

I need to keep this updated! While I was waiting for the coil, I connected the switches to my ignition as a sort of combo-lock. These controlled 2 bosh type relays that powered everything, so there wasn't much load on the switches. I added the fans (0.7 amps) and the anti-dieseling solenoid...

I was starting to feel pretty desperate. :beg: I figured with CLR overnight and a week's worth of vinegar with little results, it was time for desperate measures.

So, I'm feeling kind of stupid at the moment. My bike runs hot and I've tried everything I could easily do to fix it. I ran CLR through the system, tried different types of coolant, tried running without the thermostat, and finally decided it was due to the change in fans after my alternator...

My wife just sent me this pic of my boy: She asked if I wanted to come home for a long lunch. .. duh! :BigGrin: We'll see if I can ride it back to work!

The sticker on it says 12v 80w. That works out to 6.66 amps. 12.7 must be startup or them trying to make it sound more powerful.

I did have it come loose once when I turned the pin so it was hitting the wrong side of the crankshaft key, allowing the pulley to back one turn. I had to patch my radiator after that. Better safe than sorry on this one. I think your drilled and tapped bolt is a great way to do it!

The 1.25 was the thread pitch. The common M10 bolt in the hardware stores has a 1.0 pitch. I'm not sure about the length, but one of those worked for me. I like my little fans too but they're not quite enough. My bike still runs hot. I will probably go for a pusher as well. And I'm also running...

I didn't take any of pics of it, but I drilled a hole in the new pulley where it would interfere with the key on the crankshaft, and put a piece of key stock in there. when I tightened it down, I turned it all the way to the left so the keys were hitting, and wouldn't be able to spin. I also...
