the RaZoR - there IS a plan!

[stroker crazy]

Thanks for the anodising information - these are the things you normally have to learn the hard way!

I also need to look at the colour differences between cast and billet alloys.

As a break from polishing I've started on one of the subsidiary tasks for this build: The LED headlight.
I have MBellRacing to blame thank for inspiring this extra complication!

The headlight from the donor bike quite fortuitously turned out to be perfect for the modification.  When the extraneous metalwork is removed the remaining aperture provides clearance for the LED unit:



The seven LED unit with heatsink, lens, driver, and thermal tape are ready to go:



I need to make a mounting bracket and clamp to hold it all together and I should have a high/low brightness headlight!

I can't picture what it will look like yet....But I have a feeling it's gonna be awesome!.....I gotta figure out how to do these LED's for my tail lights/rear blinkers

[stroker crazy]

DesmoBro - I'm going for LED's for tail/stop light and all blinkers but I haven't decided on which way to tackle it yet!

Looking forward to seeing where you go with this.

Stoked to see that new headlight!

[stroker crazy]

I've been busy with bits and pieces of the build but not much actually completed.

Electrics aren't my strong point so I might be getting a bit out of my depth with my plans.

Digital instrumentation with about 25 functions - it will take forever to program!




Programmable ignition:



and a last, unnecessary complication - a keyless ignition unit:

def subscribed.  im interested in this LED situation.  you got the parts online?  i saw the other thread, can't remember who wrote it.

This build goes to show you that the only limit to what you can build is what you can dream up.

Thanks for the interest guys!  It gives me encouragement when all my friends think that I'm crazy.

dcmspikes - the LED components are from http://www.luxeonstar.com/

and the thread that gave me the inspiration is by MBellRacing -  http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=33316.msg359704#msg359704

My unit will differ in its construction but will be electronically the same.  I will post the details when it's finished.

You are crazy haha... Hence the name?

But who isn't these days, what part of aus are you from?

[stroker crazy]

I chose the name for its appropriateness!

For my sins I'm condemned to live in Sydney's inner west.  I see you're from near hippie heaven, if the map is to be believed.

Yeh mate, plenty of hippies around here, can't wait to cruise past on my 2 stroke and leave the smell of premixed fuel in the air...

Are you planning on registering this bike? How do you plan on getting it through blue slip?

[stroker crazy]

I intend to register the bike - it will look enough like a RZ350 to pass muster with anyone who isn't familiar with 80s two-strokes.  As far as I'm concerned it's just a restoration (with a few modifications!).
The motor has the same crankcase number as the frame so that might help but if not I will change it for a genuine 350 for registration purposes.
It's a bit of a punt but worth the effort!
