Just saw this, congrats to you both.

That Bultaco is sweet. Here's a pic of a little racer I snapped at the Mt Cootha hill climbs here in Brisbane last year

I've got pretty much the same bike, but I've fitted the 5 speed gears set out if a cb175. The Keihin on mine was shot ( top cap stripped and slide tube worn) so its currently waiting on a VM24 Mikuni to make its way from the US. I had the internal throttle fitted to drag bars, but could never...

No interference as its designed to be wired to coil - terminal ( just like a tachometer). The ones I use ( can't recall the brand I just buy em as I need em) can also simply have the pickup wire wrapped around a HT lead and still operate perfectly.

Sorry to hear it mate, plenty of free(ish) firewood though?

I've been following this & just wanted to chime in to say what an awesome looking machine you're building. The pic of the tree on that car is just awful though. What cars did you lose?

I'd use a tacho switching relay , as used in LPG systems on cars that arms/ disarms when a tacho signal (at coil -) is sensed or lost. That way no glow at idle which happens with most charge indicator lamps on bikes.

I'm along for the ride

Nice start to a project. Looks fairly complete?

Hi matt and welcome. Do you have a shopfront or online? I'm outer north Brissie, whereabouts are you guys?

Well done, small displacement is where its at!

Thanks a million Rod! got my patches this morning, look great.

CD175 (Ihave one) uses a single intake port head that splits inside the casting. Also no manifold to speak of, just a short (5-6mm) spacer. I'm sure I saw a single carb conversion on a Kawasaki? on here. The manifold was a Y with the leg turned 90 deg and the carb side on like a v twin.

Hey Rod, email sent thanks mate

Re: JANUARY 2010 DO THE TON BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOMINATIONS! I second Lachbeth1125's KH100, really clean and simple with nice details as pointed out by Boingk
