I don't think you'll need those blinkers for too much longer.

why you say that? mass sucks for fun stuff lol anyone have a wiring diagram for the blinker wiring

apex_seeking · « **Reply #29 on:** January 25, 2012, 05:18:36 PM »

You'll be moving so fast, no one will see them blinking any way. It'll just be a blur.

I think Im into this, but I am curious, what is the goal with the nitrous?

When do you anticipate actually using it? It just looks scary to me.
Anyway looks cool, looking forward to seeing more of this.

Complete wiring diagrams are in the back of the shop manual.
It is a bonus when buying a manual.

One concept to get is the blinker.
Each turn signal has a positive and a ground. The turn flasher has a black+12V and a grey wire. The grey wire goes from the flasher to the handlebar switch. The handle bar switch distributes that 12V signal to each blinker light.

Visualize this. you have a battery. On the positive terminal of the battery is a black wire+ and it goes to the blinker bulb positive. Then the grey wire is just a continuation from the blinker to the positive on a light bulb. The negative on the battery goes to ground on the light bulb. The light bulb blinks.
So the blinker is just inline in the positive wire to the bulb.

To control when it blinks you have a handlebar switch.

Me too but I'm waiting for the video.
Like I said before, suicide shift and a shot of nitrous, he is either crazy or got balls the size of coconuts.
I want to see a video of him shifting like crazy while spraying that baby.

Love this guy.

apex_seeking · « **Reply #39 on:** March 19, 2012, 03:29:50 PM »

I have eagerly been anticipating a follow up on this thread. But a video would be worth a thousand words.

Try holding on to those bars when the NO2 hits.

Please keep cameras running whenever the bike is started and or ridden.

What jets are you using for the nitrous? A 25 shot? I'm scared to #$%* for you. If you're running a 25 shot you're increasing output by about 50%. Thats a real lot. Much more than any bolt-on or port job can give you. You better get ready to grab the clutch when the rods blow through the case and lock everything up. My friend destroyed an engine which locked up and caused him to slide on his side down the road. It was a lot of fun to watch. I know you've had nitrous in a bunch of things but just for a second think about total power output on these vehicles. Most cars / trucks have over 150hp. Your cb probably makes about 40hp depending on the condition of the engine. Cars and Trucks also have beefy rods and way more torque than a 1970's motorcycle. Just my 2 cents. I know opinions are like #$%*s and I know the opinionated are so opinionated. Good Luck.

IMO the best thing that could happen is it GRENADES at low speed, and he does not get hurt.. That might satisfy his urge to spend money on "no go Showboat" shiite...

Used to have a guy in our town like that.. did not care if it was safe or a sound idea..if it made people look at his bike.. he was all over it.. One day on harley chopper he got the idea to make a big curved manifold between motor and his SU carb, it was so long it would ice up.. He thought it was the coolest, but soon he was on to other stuff. One day in Easyrider mag there was a pic of a similar manifold the story was titled , a POS is a still a POS, even if it is Chromed .. I cut it out and put it on the wall of the bike shop I worked in, for all to see

It was around the time he had his or shortly after. anyway everyone got to see it and had a good laugh. One day he came in and saw it. I think when no one was looking it got ripped of the wall by him.. and nobody mentioned it again.. Too damn funny...

right there with the rocket powered impala that married the side of a mountain or the guy who cleaned his shoes with gasoline while smoking a cig.
