It's been a while since I posted, but for good reason. The bike is running great (if a little rich), and I've literally ridden it everywhere I've gone for the past few months. My car gets very little use if any these days, and I love it. Soon as I get the fuel mix right and fix the bike's incontinence problem so it doesn't piss all over the ground every time I stop, I'll be content.
What's new:
- Integrated the tach into the headlight bucket, along with a stretch of the bucket to make some room inside
- ground off the gauge mount tabs on the top triple tree so the headlight/tach can have full range of movement and doesn't hit anything.
- Rigged up an admittedly hack-ish "P.O." type start switch in the headlight bucket, since mine went out. Believe me I tried everything to fix that fragile little switch, but I threw in the towel and went with a radioshack momentary switch
- Made an iPhone mount from the old handlebar dash/light thingy... Never seen this done before but it seemed like a good idea. Since I don't have a speedo anymore I just use a speedometer app on my phone while I'm out riding
- Pulled apart an $8 bluetooth headset, extended wires to external headphones and mic integrated into the crappy snowmobile helmet I ride with. Its cool that if I get a call, my phone is right there so I can see who it is and answer it, as well as listen to music
