cool, thanks for info. dave

can you tell me what type relay you used for your resistors and how big they are? thanks. dave

Yes thanks to shovelking for coming up with the idea to use grab bar for runners. I could not remember which post I had first read regarding this approach. Works well and comes out pretty clean looking also. dave

A workmate told me once when drilling stainless keep it wet with just about anything and even cheap bit will work. wd-40, cutting oil, penetrating spray, whatever. It does seem to make a big difference. dave

batwing does have a good sound to it. That yellow "enduro" wing is crazy and very professional looking. dave

using hoses with bends is a way cool idea. :clapping: gonna be real nice. dave

I only ride in good weather and we have good weather here. We do expect the first real rain of the year starting tomorrow so that's why I wanted to get test ride in today. It's in garage nice and dry. dave

Thanks, top half fit no problem, lower half I had to cut and widen, and area around cams and carb I had to make up from scratch. There are so many sportbike guys (young military ) near where I live and this is my cheap idea of a oldwing sportbike. I enjoy the strange looks I get from other...

just got back from 75 mile ride with new setup. Again low 60's in so. cal. today. Filled up fuel at start and refilled after ride. 1.9 gal. so about 37 mpg. good enough for me. mostly freeway and also blvd. riding. Ran great and I really couldn't tell when secondary started, pretty smooth all...

sounds like you have a good working system.congratulations, enjoy the ride. :clapping: dave

finished making the other two runners and everything is ready for test ride tomorrow. The two runners I thought were going to be a straight shot were actually offset just not nearly as much as the other two. I think it does look like backyard manufacturing and it is. I will post a after ride...

Got one more runner done today but won't get back to it till tuesday to do the other two. And we might actually get a storm here in so cal next week possibly delaying me even more. I certainly don't have a strong opinion if this is going to be better or not, just thinking about trying two...

Well that flat spot just off idle bugged me too much as I don't like having to slip the clutch to take off so.... I already had bought the glacier bay grab bars from home depot per canukxxxx setup and probably someone else's also, ( really a lot of threads to sort through ). So I decided to...

Well went for a 50+ mile ride today Low 60's here in so. cal. Went on freeway , some twisty roads and cruised stop and go on coast hwy In oceanside. Stopped once for coffee. :beer: no, really coffee. The flat spot I thought I felt at 4000 to 5000 rpm did not seem as much today mostly just...

Ok here is an update. remounted carb now without vacuum leak, and re adjusted idle mix and idle speed screw. 1.5 + turns on mix screw. Idling pretty smooth at 1000 rpm. Quick trip in truck to autozone for aftermarket air filter, about 8 bucks. Using cutoff bottom of coffee can for filter top (...

Positive in and negative out?

thanks for the stud info. Hose is from napa. Started it today and had vac leak at carb to 2 to 1 connection. tightened a bit more and started again. adjust idle mix and speed screw and then took vid of a startup. down the block run showed flat spot off idle and further checking with spray shows...

I might use the kicker a little bit before I start cranking to pump some fuel to carb.

might be able to use phone video to you tube and post link. I would start video after fuel fills carb bowl so you don't have to watch me cranking and cranking starter. :doh:

btw is the air filter mount stud that comes with Tom's carb 6 mm? I'm going to maybe need a longer one and that is what it seems to be as near as I can tell. I thought it was a quarter fine thread but my quarter 28 die would not thread on. thanks, dave
