    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.

    2-phase alternator and dry cell (lithium type) batteries.

    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.

    2-phase alternator and dry cell (lithium type) batteries.

    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...

    RD350 YPVS 1983 Cafe

    Makes perfect sense, the PO said he did some engine work on it. The crank is good though apart from too much lateral play at the big end bearings. It was running smooth when i tore it down. Got a replacement crank for it which had less bearing play. Anyway i need to split the cases again...

    XT550/SR500 FrankenThumper

    Went to the shop for some late night welding. Maybe it's a heavy construction but i wanted to try this approach ever since i first saw it. (Work in progress) Thanks for the kind words:) Edit: frame work almost done for the tail/seat.

    SeRotonin500 1981

    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...
