I have heard good things about the auto set... It is definitely not perfect, but pretty dang close from what i hear.

Another selling point on the the 211 was that it has the MVP system. i can weld off of 220V or 110V... very nice feature. Obviously you loose duty cycle and material thickness, but it is nice to be able to have the option.

so it can be always be run off your 220v dryer outlet but then plugged into your friends 110v when he needs to borrow it...

I have a really odd feeling that your trying to hint at something chris....

Midnight: Nice to see you back at it again. You are getting a real nice selection of toys for sure. I'm looking forward to when you start setting up and tuning the Microsquirt. My project is in a "holding pattern" for a bit...(ignition meltdown !!), and I was getting the tuning so nice too!! #$%* happens!! Sitting at a laptop and programming an engine is just "simply amazing."

Take care; Clifford

23T... I am excited to get to that point as well... I am VERY close to starting...

I hear you on the sitting at a laptop tuning being amazing... The first time the computer communicated with the bike... I was in disbelief... a laptop communicating from 2005 communicating with a motorcycle from the late 70's... its ridiculous!

I've been following this thread and have gone back and read 23bucket's. Question - which MAP are you using, and were did you locate it?

Very Cool Thread!

are you talking about the MAP sensor? or the base map for tuning?

The MAP sensor. I've been going through the list of the extra stuff required for EFI (MAP, CHT, ITA...). Trying to get an idea were everything needs to be located.

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #136 on:** May 16, 2011, 07:46:13 pm »

The MAP sensor is a GM 3-bar MAP sensor. It will be tapped into the throttle bodies I have it mounted to the spine of the frame under the tank.

OK.... SO.... It has been a while since I have updated this... But work and life have gotten a little busy lately...

Put in a bid for a house... Hoping to hear back on that soon...Then moving and properly building out the garage.

Getting married in October... been doing wedding stuff with the fiancee..

Without further delay... Some updates...

Got the fuel rail built up. It needs some cleaning up and then i think i am going to powder coat it black.

I got the Throttle bodies, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, etc... all mounted and completely plumbed. I have not pressure tested yet... I am kinda nervous about that one. But, I think it will be fine. All of the fuel lines are tucked away nicely and hide themselves pretty well. All of the wiring for the microsquirt is hidden under the fuel tank. If a person wasn't paying attention really well, the probably wouldn't even notice that it has been fuel injected, especially after I get the K&N pods on them... Which is what I was shooting for. (modification and modernization without killing the looks of the bike)

The fuel pressure regulator location worked out just as I had hoped... The fuel pressure gauge peaks out just beneath the left hand side cover for easy viewing access. It looks like it is right above the chain in the picture, but it is about an inch to an inch and a half behind the chain. plenty of clearance. It is also an oil filled pressure gauge so it should stay pretty steady and not damage as easily.

I Finally got enough cajones to cut the steering stem on the lathe... and it came out GREAT...

I started with this....

And ended up with this....

Obviously I still need to add the threads, tapers and need to part the stem from the rest of the stock. I was also able to gain the extra length that I needed due to the length differences between the steering heads on a CB750 and a CBR1000RR.... The below picture is with the bottom machined surfaces lined up... ( if you reference the above picture, you can see the difference)

So, all in all, I am getting pretty close to having the front end bolted on, and the fuel injection to a starting point. I wish there were more hours in a day so that I could work to pay the bills, then come home and enjoy working on my motorcycle...

Wow. Lookin' great, man!

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #144 on:** June 07, 2011, 01:06:10 pm »

Thanks sys!

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #145 on:** June 20, 2011, 02:28:07 pm »

well, got more done on the steering stem... Threads are cut and the stem is parted to length... just need to do some tapering so that the stem and bearings press in nice and easy. Checked the fit of the top triple on the new stem and my stem actually has a better fit than the stock triple... I am also going to have my logo engraved onto the top of the steering stem... should turn out pretty cool.

More updates to come!!!

very nice work, looks like you've got a handle on the lath.

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #147 on:** June 20, 2011, 04:14:03 pm »

thank you sir... I am still learning...dont think i will ever stop learning.

I am currently trying to figure out how to drill a hole in the fuel tank for my return line without getting a crap ton of metal chips in the tank... any suggestions?

I hear when you stop learning, its called dead.

About the only thing I can think of would be one of those small car vacs. Feed the hose in close, and try to suck up as much as possible as its being made.
