Gonna be a hot seat lol :) planning to put insulation on the inside and some heat wrap on the pipe going to the end pipes which i hope will make it cool enough to ride it more than down the street and back.

I got really busy as i started to make a living from wrenching on old jap bikes, just got my own workshop so onve again it is time to get a little further on this project. Going to mount a vz21 turbo with a draw through carb setup. It will probably be done in 10 yrs or so lol, but im having a...

Jumped the gun sorry, kinda got my answer in this thread, lithium batttery should work on a 2 phase alternator. Just as i thought it is a charging problem. Let me know if i need to delete the thread. www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=65292.

As the title says, should this combo give any troubles? Had a discussion with a mechanic that claimed it cannot be done. I might be wrong but the reg/rec should charge it like it would with a 3-phase alt? Looking for people with experience using lithium batteries on 2 phase alternators and...

Tail/seat update

Got it running again, almost there now

Made the seat foam and some other stuff today.

Some progress was made today

Got the tank mounted and figured out what shape i wanted for the seat.

So i let the bike rot in my basement for a while. Took it out the other day and here it is now. Looking much sharper with the gsxr running gear.

An sr500 feels light when you ride it but damn it was heavy to lift up the stairs ::) next time i'll get some help for it, had to take off the tank, seat, handlebars and frontwheel for it to be small enough for the narrow stairway. And it almost fell back down too. Anyway, i have some small...

Got the old bike running again with a fresh front tire and a new set of reversed clubmans, it's faster than it looks lol The engine needs a tune up though:)

Thanks man, i like the idea of using parts i otherwise would have scrapped:) Unfortunately i threw out my huge bag of stock blinkers, otherwise it would have made for a funny looking lamp hehe
