Thanks. Now it's 25 degrees cooler than yesterday and I'm not sure if I wanna work on it anymore. lol How was the chicken?  I cooked it, so of course it was badass.  I have the gut to prove I can cook.  |

I've got all of the panels other than the front (no headlight) on T1 now. Wiring should be done (everything seems to work). I got the speedo all hooked up this morning. I tinted and installed the front turn signals in the front fairing yesterday.   Now the problem. Stupid thing won't start. I know the tach works at least, cause it jumps when I kick it over and the temp went from 12C to 20C after kicking it for way too long. It was kind of a pain on T2 before I swapped it, but it took a max of I think 10 kicks once when cold. I kicked and kicked and kicked and fiddled and kicked some more and nothing. I have fuel, air, spark, and compression. I tried spraying some carb cleaner in there thinking it would at least pop, nothing. I dunno if the tach being wired inline could make the spark too weak or if it's just really fussy about the air/fuel mix. If this keeps up, look for a local craigslist ad... FS : 70MPH Headache. |

Looks cool as hell anyway ;D. Can you get a red strip of LED,s for the front too? "Nightrider" style lol!!!! Have em move back and forth like this :rofl: . Im just kiddn looks sweet! Im still thinking about that chicken! Man, that still sounds good as hell. Then you saying its good cause you cooked it. Made me all hungry for some BBQ chicken :lol: That is weird it wont start :stumped: I wired my tach i through the pick-up wire. Seems to like that way the best. You can switch it to degrees F if you want to. Two lil buttons on the back. |

Sorry, I didn't think the chicken would keep too well in the mail. I figured it was prob C only, glad to know I can swap it to numbers I don't have to think about. lol I was considering blue LEDs in the front peeking out of the nostrils. Just don't have enough money to justify that or silver or white 49ccScoot decals for the lower fairings yet. Spent too much between T1 and T2 lately.  Not sure I really wanna run more wires either. I did have a red LED underscoot light, but I ditched that already cause it didn't match the blue tach. I figured I'd stick to one color at a time. lol I might stick a blue 194 bulb in there for the running light with the headlight. At least with parking lights on I'd have a blue light and that's in the stock wiring. Also, I found a blue or hyper-white (blue tinted) light in there with a regular headlight bulb actually makes the headlight look whiter. |

Well, we like to say sometimes you just need to walk away. I didn't touch T1 till today. Walked out, kicked it and it sputtered. Kicked it again and it fired up. Those sale threats must work on it. Now I just need the headlight to show up, and if it'll keep starting I can go pass some more cars. ;D

That would be a bad feeling to be all tucked down and look over at a cop glaring back at you as you pass. A friend of mine pulled out to pass a plain clothes cop on a sportbike and when he got next to him and realized it was a cop he just hit the brake and got back in line. Cop didn't do anything. |

Tach works, and it's badass! Again, I'm sorry it took so long, but thank you to the folks that chipped in and donated this. The Trial Tech tachs are nice and serve their purpose, but they definitely aren't as cool as this. Never had a CHT before either. ;D Hopefully I'll get some sort of how to up in the near future in case anyone else gets one of these.

If it sees over 11,000 I should be doing 70, so I think 15 will be plenty.  |

Oh yeah. Sorry, I never paid that much attention to up there. I just know if this thing revs that high I better let off before I'm dodging a piston. lol

Man, those turn signals are awesome! I'd totally go with a light strip just like that, but make it more horizontal, and go with Robert's idea, but make them blink in the direction you're turning. Just my idea |
