Cheap and simple to wire. You'll need a bit of rubber (even a cut up hose will work) to prevent the posts from grounding, but for a brand new R/R, it's hard to beat that price.

Rated for 15A.

How much of a difference is it if you change from the std reg/rectifier to a single late model unit?

I was thinking of doing this to my CB360, it has std charging etc etc
Click to expand...

I would only do it if I was doing a complete re-wire, it's easier to use separate units if your using stock wiring
 
I was going to use my wiring until I pulled the old tape of and it feel apart in my hands, so now I will be doing a complete rewire, I have picked up a Reg/Rec from one of the small engines at work, its a Yanmar single cyl diesel and has a small alternator that charges a 9AH Battery, the Reg/Rec looks like the one in the link Sonreir posted. Brand new, never used and the best part......free! ;D
 
Kinda threw everything together today just to make sure it fits. I tested the shock with the full weight of the motor. It seems maybe too springy but definitely a fine starting place for road testing.

I got a compression tester today and both cylinders push 170psi, is this good? I haven't found the definitive answer yet, every thread I read seems to have a different opinion. I read 150 is good. 110 is too low.

To do...prep and paint frame, rims/tires, brakes, wiring, exhaust.

Thanks Finnigan!

Also, I ended up reading in the cb360t manual that compression should be right at 171psi. I think I'm good to go.
 
Yes. The exposed monoshock between tank and seat is awesome. I really like how the whole overall look is developing!
 
WOW I agree with Finnigan this thing is awesome, alot of what floats around in my head is actually coming together right infront of me, top work. ;)
 
Yep - looks amazing.

The bike looks like a 'real' bike, that is - the parts all work well together as if they were designed to, and don't look like a mess.

Great work on the mono shock - I am inspired.
 
Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. I can't wait to ride the damn thing.

Thought I would post these since im doing it totally wrong. Ill try something different tomorrow. This was just for fun.

You guys have no idea how much I want to do all of that! It would definitely be different. However, I do want to have a small muffler of some kind. My neighbors...and probably myself would not appreciate the straight pipes for too long. Probably a Stainless Steel "Shorty" Universal Cone Muffler like this one...

I just can't believe the $109 price tag. Anyone know where to find them cheaper?
 
I actually went to the Moto Salvage Yard yesterday and they had just bought out a Dealer....They had Clubmans and Similar Pipes the Guy Had both of them in his hands and i asked how much....He said $60....I almost Crapped with joy....If you want I'll get them tomorrow and we can figure out shipping etc
 
I only saw one set but they had a wall of boxes with who knows what in there ....I'm kinda Broke So i can only buy and ship one set at a time but I'll do what i can to help all the brothers on here out
 
sweet man, if you send me a pic first I'll forward you the money to pick them up for me. I dont want to put you out for doing us a favor
