I’ve worked it out. It’s fine. A 4s lipo has a maximum charge of 16.8 volts. I’ve never even seen a voltage regulator that produces higher voltage than 16.8. Most are 14.7 volts. So in that case it’s impossible to over charge it. It’s actually annoying because I lose some capacity buy not being...

You can’t overcharge this battery with a properly functioning voltage regulator/rectifier. Also much like all batteries, you will stuff them up if you fully drain them Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Deciding on final locations for the battery, fuse box and starter relay. Was going to buy a cool kit online but this way is cheaper and just as good. Decided to run a Lipo 4s 3ah battery because of its high c rating which will easily handle the start current of the starter motor. Everything...

I like the look. I’ll give it a go a bit later on. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Interesting idea. I might get some glass bead rather than the grit I’m already using and see how it goes. If all else fails I’ll paint it black anyway so it’s a safe bet to try. Also thought of maybe blasting the rearsets to match. I’ve got two complete sets so if it goes south I can always use...

Sandblasted the side cover. Was thinking of trying to match in with the aluminium rear set. Not 100% convinced it will suit just yet but I can always paint it black later. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Cool. If I get stuck I’ll give you a yell Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Air leaks do cause high idle speeds on fuel injected engines as the injector compensates to keep the lambarda sensor in the right range. Air leaks after a carb will mean that cylinder will be sucking less air and fuel from the carby because some of the air is bypassing the carb. Also fuel...

Adding a little mechanical protection to the cables. Also used some black heat shrink for the visible cable run up to the seat just to keep the gaps black as well. Bit of form and function Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Air leaks don’t increase rpm. It’s getting too much fuel. I’m more worried about the electrical at the moment but I’ll get to the tuning soon enough so you can work out if your right of not. Also how does more fuel make an engine run cooler? Fuel adds heat when it combusts? Idle isn’t meant to...

Hey yeah cheers I’m all good. Haven’t even tried to start the bike since I moved the needle heights. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get some stuff done. Cheers m8 Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Needles are tied directly to the slide. I figured in the lowest position of the common throttle position, if the needle can drop any further then less fuel can go through the primary jet. I’ll start it tomorrow and find out I guess. If that doesn’t work then I’ll change the idle and primary jets...

Bike runs but idles way too high when warm. Dropping the needle height two spots to see if that helps. Hopefully I don’t need smaller jets. I’m thinking when I did the carbs I lifted the needles for some reason and that’s why it’s running flat out. Usually it’s the other way around when pods and...

Happy with the result. Might paint the bracket but I’ll decide once the whole bike is together Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Boom! Carbon fibre engine mounts. My first time working with the stuff. Cuts easily with the grinder. This bit is 3mm thick. I’m not sure how thick the original part is. I was guessing about 2mm and likely over engineered like so many things were in the past. I’ve also worked out that carbon...

Making new front engine mounts as I wasn’t happy with the previous attempt Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I’m not a big fan of it. I like the early cb750 shape best Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I’ll do a video this week of it running. Then maybe I might do one of syncing the carbs. That’s actually going to be annoying because of where the screws are been each carb and filter Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Clean. Now to put it back together and see if it leaks Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON
