It's not what I dreamed of, but it's a great start.

Been doing a bunch of club rides, and some sight seeing tourist rides with my wife.
Getting ready to post some vids soon.
Working on saddlebags and highway pegs next.

Skippy with the road rash probably asked for it riding in a T-shirt.

Quick update....
3 teeth bought me about 500 rpm. It's starting to get sketchy on the bottom end so that's as far as I'll push it.

Picture #2 is the enricher for the carb.
The last pic looks like the starter motor but they are all so small it's hard to tell.

Ok, Frankenbike. Got it.
Is this the engine with built in reverse? That's what they advertise and if it is, then those wires control the servo that changes motor direction.

That's excellent news. So... On the bike, do you have a gauge that tells you what gear you are in? Or do you just have a light that turns on when you're in neutral? This is actually good news because you are re-using the old harness. This is really a side issue, but since you mentioned the gear indicator already, I'm just working to clear it up.
Did you get the bike new? Do you have the books for it? If you do, then you've just saved yourself a ton of headache.
If I wanted to look up this bike and see it online, what would I look for? (Name, make, model...)
Also, can you give us a picture of where on the engine those wires come from? This will give us a MUCH better idea of what they are for.

I have to laugh at myself though... Going down the road, I KNOW I'm already in 5th and I'm still reaching for another gear. LOL

I think he should dip it in gas and then hold it up to a lit match to see if he can see thru it....

Not yet. I exhausted my mad money for a bit. At least until I get the wife a new car.  Her car decided to grow a major crack in the water jacket on the block. Right where it can't be fixed. Sux. I found a nice minivan (she rolls her eyes) in really good shape for a good price. Now I just need to make some arrangements to go and get it. |
