So been working on where all the Elec stuff will go out of the way . The Rec/reg i know needs to have some air to keep it cool so mounted it under the seat tray i put in. Then i picked up a Shorai battery, Newtronic Ignition,Starter Relay all very small to place under the seat bump. After messing with this way or that way with the parts this is what i came up with. Also Ive made it so with 3 bolts i can remove the seat and work on it if needed . Should be getting my last elec part today so hoping by next week can get on the wiring and get it running befor pulling it apart to have PC and some painting done !
Well After pulling my hair out over the wiring i seem to have made some head way . with the help of a buddy we where able to get some power moving . Got the new ignition all mounted up and started to run wire. Got the starter button to go make the starter relay to go CLICK CLICK CLICK and the tail light to fire up along with the dash lights. First of next week will be getting the other parts up and going im hoping !
Once i fill the rear reserve its just for looks who needs rear brakes lol No think the pic makes it look that way has more then enuff room to remove the cap and can add more fluid .
As for the wiring harness goes the stock one had some bad spots where the shielding was gone . So went tho it and cleaned those up and removed what im not using and went from there . With newer parts it removed alot of shit off the harrness. Just using the stock harness to make a prototype then once i have it all worked out will copy that one to make new one !
Stop over at my buddys who is painting my tins this weekend and help him get everything in primor. Should have it in color by this coming weekend we are hoping ! Still needs wet sanded and some fill here and there but not to bad so far. Also will be working on wiring this week and hope to have the bike running soon !
And things are moving now almost done with wiring have two small things waiting for then it will be all done . Looking for a few other parts like pods,chain,brake lines etc....
Still need to figure out the front brake set up thinking of going with a FZR disk and caliper but not 100% on that as of now . My buddy thats painting my bike sent me these today and cant say how happy i am with it . I never thought when i started this build i would be at this point but here we are . They still need wet sanded and cleared going over this weekend to help out and hope to learn something.
Looks good! Keep it up man. By the way... A sock monkey... Is that where you take a tube sock, fill it with lotion and... OOOHHHHH... You probobly mean the doll. I get it. Carry on.
LOL That my friend is some funny shit ! The name "sock monkey" came from the rear tail light . After a few beers and messin with the tail light it looked like the sock monkey lips . So after cutting some black tape for eyes we started calling the bike sock monkey lol and don't believe anything Von will tell you, he doesn't like red bikes and just wants to tell me my bike SUCKS ! LOL
So was over at the painters helping with the Yamaha decals befor clearing it . Also have been working on the brake problem on the front . And lifes funny see a fellow DTT member had just a very small motor problem. If you havent seen BradJs motor all i can say is WOW ! As it just so happens he was looking for a topend which i had and i was looking for FZR parts. So long story short it worked out for both of use and I would just like to thank him very cool dude . So back to the paint ......
