Currently im doing the wiring for a 1985 honda vt500c that im bobbing. i found that switch on dcc and really liked it so i grabbed my wiring diagram and started to see how i could wire this sucker up to my bike. i noticed some things that i didn't quite understand on the diagram from what i...

Thanks for all the advice teazer. You do have a good point about it all.. aside from spending all that money on things that will improve it slightly stock is always better and I think one thing at a time instead of dropping all that cash is the way to go.....the whole principle of these bobbers...

what im trying to do is to turn the bike into a reliable bike it was sitting in a backyard for 4 years and most of the harness is falling apart. the bike is going to be my main mode of transportation and i want to update what i can ( and to make it look nice) especially to smaller concealable...

ok so after a lot of sitting down and thinking it over ive decided to go with the nology coils over dyna i like the price a lot more and can get the same reliability as dyna. my question is after changing to these coils do i have to run the hotwires they have for the coils, or will going with...

I'm using some stainless steel pipe to weld and make the intake to the heads and I'm going to weld a flange on the carb side to bolt it on I'm just stumped when it comes to giving support to the carb the bike doesn't gave screw holes on the engine because its not stock with a single carb is it...

i have a 1985 honda shadow vt500c and i recently bought a mikuni tm 36 for it. my question is how do i mount it correctly so it doesnt fall off. the bike was stock with dual keihin carbs under the tank. i can make a snorkel that will fit between the heads and convert it from a 2 to 1 carb setup...

Would that ignition work with a cdi ignition

im just trying to learn new ways to achieve the same result. this is my first build and im pretty much going in blind just trying to ask as many questions as possible

im trying to keep the wiring as simple as possible and i figure with one less coil things wouldnt get so hectic, and a little cheaper too

the stock harness is falling apart and im not even going to use alot of stuff im cutting out the turn signals, the whole fuse box ( going to use in line fuses)the indicator lights on the dash, im just wiring for as bare as possible. i hope to start this as soon as i get new coils and spark plug...

as of right now the bike runs off two dual tower coils to 4 plugs....... hypothetically speaking what if i went with 1 dual tower coil and connected it to 2 plugs (one in each cylinder).....would it affect the engine any

the above diagram fits my bike all the way except i dont run a points system so the cdi would be the bridge from the pulse generator to the coils?
