I have a set of those license plate LED bolts on two of my bikes and love them, quite bright.

You can always get it running with time or money.

Do you know the trick to use the resonant frequency of the belts to set tension? I loaded up a guitar tuner app on my phone and plucked away at the belts on my brother's Monster to set the tension, and damned if it wasn't dead on when I verified it by measuring the belt deflection.

But how do you know what the resonant frequency should be?

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong

Yes I've seen that, pretty neat, like you said I think the dealers do all of them that way now.
I still use the old way, but that is something I have to try someday. It's just that I am comfortable with the way I do them and have never had a problem, old habits are hard
to break.

Hard to do 2000 mile road trips on an RD or similar! And Chris, no gift card, but just as well, no cup holder or reverse gear either
Nice bike Kiley, you have the roads up there to enjoy it on for sure.
Damn Kiley, that paint scheme is perfect.
Bought some "old junk" too. 
Already owned the frame, seat, engine, etc. The custom OW31 tail ended up to be so large that I figured I'd look for the largest fuel tank I could get my mitts on to make it look a little smaller. Extra fuel capacity is always a bonus as well! ;D
The tank is off a KZ1000 st shaft drive. Same shape as the MkII, but a little larger. It's a perfect slip-on fit to the 78 KZ1000 frame.
The sub-frame will be hacked off and a new one fabbed to suit the new seat. The seat will be shortened and kicked up "considerably" from what you see here.

Thanks! She's getting new tires and an oil change right now. I bought her. Went down the road to my bike shop and dropped her off for new tires. I rode the bike not even a quarter mile before loading it up. I'm dying to go ride her. The tires just had to much dry rot on the sides for me to be comfortable going anywhere.
