Things that make you go ‘is he still at it??’
Just a small update, i have been working on the bike, but not postiong updates yet. it’s just been really minor stuff, like clutch cable, battery pads, but then i got the stuff to do the new fuel lines and filter system, which not only looks cool, its increased the demand and supply responsiveness of my fuel system enough to make the bike much more responsive on the throttle. I also figured out the ‘vapor lock’ claims i keep hearing, and i have been snickering ever since i figured out WTF these people have all been (wrongly) talking about. (and the fact nobody seems to know how to get around it..durdurdur..)
I’m still working to encode the video of the last segment instalation first however, but its a bit of a monster. Other video’s will be more..sectional, and easier to swallow.
But doesn’t all the teasing little tidbits above just make you insanely curious? ;]
Also, got a bike jack today, not bad for 60 bucks at sears. on sale too (special thanks to my father who spotted that and gave me a call. thanks dad! now about that CNC machine..).
If you are into bikes and want a new lift, check out sears, its not a bad little peice of hardware for the cost. And on that subject, somebody should probably confine me to quaters or something as i am currently looking at CAD files for a home-brew powersport dyno platform and already have the software to use its output too.
Those things are fucking handy for so many different things it’s not even funny, now that the engine is starting to really behave itself, it’s almost silly to test drive around here, i can’t gather data, and high speeds in this area isn’t exactly smiled upon, and i like to test my machines before i TEST my machines. something about serious engine problems at 50 miles an hour on a busy road that just doesn’t settle with me very well.
Maybe i’m just paranoid, but paranoia keeps millions of people alive every year..
