These were in my mailbox this morning...

I had to make the mounting bracket from a piece of 3" x 1/4" aluminum and swapped out the lower clevis for a heim joint from our local ACE hardware store and it's almost ready. What is out of sight is the CO2 bottle and regulator, electric over air solenoid and "killbox". At the moment it lacks range of motion, so something has to be changed. It's the old custom bike, measure 3 times, cut twice

Beautiful!

 

[buckeyebike]

Nice work!

Where did you get the alloy plate to make the bracket? I need something similar to make rearset brackets for my Triton.

 

[johngofast]

Teazer, are those socket cap bolts on the covers brass or zinc chromium, or? Like the look.

 

[crazypj]

Look like high tensile aluminium to me?

 

[teazer]

Thanks. "gold" aluminum are anodized and are available from ProBolt aka Tasty Nuts or in shop packs from Lockhart Phillips.

The 3" aluminum came from...... I don't remember, but for most of that stuff now I can find it at Aircraft Spruce or Onlinemetals.com http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=7541&step=4&showunits=inches&id=997&top_cat=60 that's 4 bucks for a foot of it

Also available in different sizes http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?id=997&step=2&top_cat=60

I bought tube to make muffler bodies and plate to make brackets and they also sell Chrome Moly tube...

I'm on V3.0 of the shift lever and still welding and grinding to get enough travel.

 

[johngofast]

Ha, don't know why I ruled out aluminum! Looks good. Thanks for the info!

Hall effect sensor on circuit board for variable input voltage ;D
The little black thing sticking out is the actual sensor
DIY ign for CB360, probably $50.00
Can't make the rotor yet though and haven't decided exactly how to mount/encapsulate yet :



I also got a couple of neodinium (sp?) magnets to turn it on and off

 

[stroker crazy]

It's neodymium, pj - but what does it actually do?

Crazy

Here is my latest purchase




2008 SV650 with 5600 mi on it, Love it so far but have a few things to do/replace on it like the headlight, mirrors, plate holder, and pipe. I'm keeping my kz for now to play around with and I plan on riding this on a daily basis.

You can see the hall effect sensor has 3 'legs'
Two are voltage input, when a magnet passes sensor you get an output voltage on the third 'leg' that gets fed into GM module to trigger ignition coil
It may be easier to thinkof it as an electronic points set up

 

[teazer]

Let me see if I understood that PJ. Two legs are just normal keeping things straight and the third leg tingles when something suitably tasty passes. ;-)

I've got a mold here about that size...but I can't gaurantee It wouldn't get smashed...ha! (NOTE THOSE ARE NOT BRUNO'S FINGERS)

Sure, we believe you....

 

[Mr.E]

Well after a month of being pissed at the postal service and moping around, these finally showd up at my door.

Only problem is... the front is fine for my cb750, but the "18" rear" is actually a 18" front for a smaller bike. Oh well.. ill figure out something to do with it...

 

[surffly]

Sure it's not an F rear?

 

[Mr.E]

Sure it's not an F rear?

Pretty sure. Its as narrow as a front. Either way, I could probably sell it and buy the proper rear I guess
