Hello again. I didn't have much time to do things tonight but sanded the epoxy on one side of the tank smooth and a compression tester came in the mail! Also another thing came in the mail as well. 3x 33,000uF 50V capacitors @ $3.95 each from apexjr.com (not on his website but he has them)...
Like this ;D
I am curious. For racing you could have the tool charger and a gutted tool to plug the pack into the bike and delete the bike charging system. I am not sure how many Ah you need to complete a race fully....
I was thinking trying to use a Lithium 12v power tool battery pack for a battery.... could this work? i've already deleted the starter motor. hmmmmm

Looking at purchasing this to stick down to the seat for padding. I may make several seats with varying amounts of padding that I can switch out if I am going on a long ride with more padding or short jaunt/race padding. What does everyone else use for seat padding?

I had some time to tinker on my petcock this evening. First I wanted to increase flow into the bowl of the petcock. Boring the holes into the bowl to a diameter of 9/32". This was the exact size of the new 4 hole rubber seal in the rebuild kit that I got. Starting with the hole entering the...
Not too much has happened since last update.
I received my petcock rebuild kit for the tank and will plan on doing that soon. Also I will bore out my petcock a tad to give maximum flow.
I epoxied my tank on one side and put a coat on my seat. I have damaged it and exposed it to too much...
Small update.
So I noticed some rust coming out from under the tack welded side badge mounts on my tank. I had to nip this in the bud.
I am going to fill both sides with epoxy and repaint. i think...
Also got some exhaust flanges off of ebay.
Old.
New
That's it for now.
Cheers, Eric
I reset my Honda speedometer. Not sure of the legality of this action, but I never plan on selling this bike. So this is a quick video I took showing how it is done.

tach block off plug!
also here is the process of how i built my seat pan.
I decided to do a two piece unit. the seat pan then a rear fairing. a one piece seemed too complicated and i was still in the process of deciding how i want it to look and if i wanted to have the option of a brat/...
OOO boy, got the wheels laced this eve. I hope when trued the spokes do not stick into the rim and require a little grinding. I will need to build another jig for truing. maybe a little more accurate than the last time where i had less than 1/128" hop or wobble. this time the spokes won't...
UGH just remembering how to forum again. Had to reset photobucket password and everything. So here we go.
The culprit >:(
You can see the wearing on the journal enough to score a bit but not a total meltdown like some I've seen. thanks expensive plastic magnet sleeve from pertronix...
So I...
Good Day all DTT people. I am here once again to continue my Honda CB200 build!
Here is a link to my first attempt: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=27628.0
I felt it unwise to resurrect my dead zombie thread even on the same exact bike. So here I am starting fresh.
First a...
Re: '75 CB200T .... most definitely running now!
So all of a sudden it happened. years in the making I finally took an evening or five to try and sort the bikes electrical out and get this heap started. So I charged up the battery after sitting idle for months. I then proceeded to check the...
Re: '75 CB200T ....nearly running
Bwahahahaa, the work has started again! After a hard summer of carpentry work and zero time to get this bike going i finally had some days to putter on the thing. I will post soon the wiring things that I have learned and hopefully..... get this sucker...
Re: '75 CB200T now wiring and making seat!
Still puttering away. Seat is...progressing. the wiring is getting me confused. I am thinking of putting the pieces out on a piece of paper and letting someone with more knowledge connect the dots. I fear burning something out. Now a question about...
