It's been too hot to do much in the shed, but I couldn't stay away any longer.
I have the ignition and charging systems all hooked up....just waiting on some connectors to arrive to finish hooking up sparkers, coils etc.
To get ready to wire up all the peripheral items, I needed to finalise the locations of all the gadgets, like gauges, senders, etc.
I gutted the old temperature sender, threaded it, and connected a smaller sender that's matched to a digital 52mm temp gauge, which I have tested and verified to work correctly. It's an ebay acquisition, so longevity can not be verified.
I then removed the oil pressure sender, fitted an extension, then one of these large oil pressure senders that is also matched to a digital gauge. I hooked it up on my Suzuki SV650 and it was lighting up and showing some numbers that looked like they could be correct. Again an ebay find.
However, the whole set up looks flimsy, so I decided to make a securing bracket bent out of some 2mm mild steel flat bar.
And I made sure it did not interfere with the clutch cable.
