Good call. Skid plate for the bottom, front and back. Rubber for the sides and top?

Hi chaps, I’ve mounted my battery with two metal straps underneath my bike behind the gearbox. It’s above the lowest point of the engine but also still fairly exposed. Space is tight. Obviously the easiest answer is to stick it in a metal box but because it’s so confined I’m very worried about...

Fuel filters something I hadnt thought about too cheers. Definitely planning on cleaning the tank

Thanks, thats a good point that I hadn't considered.

Hi chaps, got two carbs on my Guzzi. It was running reasonably well before I had it and has not run now for about 3 years. Externally the carbs are pretty filthy, internally I dont know. I have fiddled with carbs in the past but I really am not keen on the idea of doing anything again. Do you...

Thanks! I looked up the rules myself actually after posing the question, and if it is built before 86 it doesn't need them :) . However I will stick some on if the tester wants to be difficult or whatever. Made lots of progress today. Welded on a small tab for the tank strap so I could finally...

Well its been 2 years and I've made a little more progress today. Little one and total lack of funds had stopped play. Still have the baby, still have no funds, but the desire to get this thing up and running this year is back. Worked out how to do the linkage for gears and brakes, with a few...

Figure for the cost it might be worth a punt. Tiny battery, tiny cost 8)

Yeah I know mate, problem is I am wondering if 20mins of usb charging (my average commute time) is enough to replace juice used starting a 500cc V twin plus running lights.

Works fine for me? Try this https://www.amazon.com/Compact-DBPOWER-8000mAh-Portable-Flashlight/dp/B013UJ2JCE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477936219&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=car+jump+starter&psc=1

Stumbled across these car jump starters using lipo cells that pack a punch- 300A+. Most I have seen are obviously quite generic Chinese things and often packaged up with a load of crap (flashlights etc) but overall dont seem half bad for the price. Only thing is looks like their charging circuit...

Ok gotcha. How the hell would you attach the thing! :o Been scratching my head today trying to figure out rear sets. Gave up, made up and started welding in electrics tray which went pretty well. I'm getting better at welding. Slowly. Also started to make up a rear tray section using old...

Smooth join onto hoop now, pics to follow. New brake pads fitted on only one side of the GSX as the shop sent wrong ones! Decided I am going to stick with stock tank for time being until I can make a decision on what to do. Nicked some sheet from work so will fab electrics tray over weekend.

Hi v-pilot, thanks but I dont need a seat base I intend on fabricating one soon! I think I can mount the rear m/c on the lower frame rail and just about get away with it. Going to tac on a few mounts tomorrow and see what happens. Not sure what you mean about using the front m/c. Got the...

Right on pal, that was the final intention just a rough fit at the time, engine will be on way out soon

Went to fit seat hoop today but couldn't work out suspension travel. Just dug out the manual if anyone is interested the rear shock travel is 67-69mm + 8-10mm 'bottoming stroke' - whatever that is. So if I work to 80mm all is good.

Although might try it your way too ;)

Will get soldering tomorrow and see how this version goes

20A power relay in there n all. Hmm... :o For a cheapo Chinese thing its actually a well put together board.

Haha thats a coincidence I've literally just opened it up! And low and behold there is a NO terminal on the relay. Win ;D
