CB500/550 / electronic tacho
« on: March 17, 2011, 02:35:11 PM »
as the 650 gear seems to be next to non existent and i have the patience of a small child full of adhd and too much sugar i shall be going the electronic route.

now if i run a Z1000 clock will i have any issues ?

or i might go hightech and get a vapour clock.

any recomendations ?

cheers peeps

CB500/550 / clutch springs
« on: February 18, 2011, 09:08:12 PM »
anybody used Barnett or ebc clutch springs ? not bothered about day to day usage just want something a bit more substantial.

i have read putting 6mm washers pre loads the springs for better action but thought i might go heavier duty than that.

thoughts ?

Anyone around this way ?

just took the 550k3 cafe out for a quick pre MOT shake down, the CRs make it pull like a horse but i forgot how totally bullshit the front break is on these old girls, may have to do the twin disk conversion.

cannot wait for the next sunny day for a proper thrash!

good vibes all around

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

this is the first year i have decided not to 'hack' it through the winter and i think my choice was well advised! nothing worse than a fubarred bike due to road conditions.

all i can say is that my bike electrics and new seat i am constructing will have more time spent on them than they really need!

although being skint and having no new winter project is sending me up the wall. all i can do is wait til spring now.

are we talking about the shed or the bike  ???



got this combined regulator/ rectifier to tidy up and condense the electrics and to sort out a bad connection from the rectifier to the battery

will let you know how it performs

tidy
