It will get me to AFR then maybe a total rethink/design but for now off to PAV for some colour
fark yeah good job Ian as per always,
Things are slow as I have popped a rib out and its taking me forever to do anything so a Massive thanks to PAV He is helping out and doing the finishing touches for me so it is good to go for ASF and chucking out a quick coat of paint
fuck me a buggerd rib ,it may be sore for a while !! ive boken a few and it took 3-4 weeks for me to even think of sitting on my bike ,let alone ride it
Got a couple of trips to the chiropractor booked and all will be good ( I hope ) just taking to long to get things done.
Got a text the other day for Pav "do you mind if I fuck with ya tail a bit" I said " said go ahead"

Thanks for the comments people
11.0 not as quick as I would like but most if not all of the way on one wheel so fun all the same.
Tail is/was a temp knocked up with the help of PAV for AFR but will be staying a little longer now as $$$$ have become tighter.
Not sure I will make it out this week but will be out again soon
time:p looks like funQuote:

I personally like the look of the tail - If you replace it, I'll take it off your hands.
i was out here last week. i thought i'd see ya.
Been flat out of late but will get out again soon.
General dribble time
As some know I had a small problem with my remote start at AFR it stopped working and needed a roadside bypass to complete the weekend. So got my shit together today to have a look at it wired it back up as it should be and it works like new. Opened it up and the nuts that hold the board in place had come off and had been floating around that could have been the issue but it's fucked me once so it will go in the box of bits to look at later on.
Anyway figured I would just put a key switch back on somewhere down near the alt area nice and easy little or no chance it will give me any trouble but I don't really want any keys for the bike. Started by cutting out the remote start system then took a trip to JCAR to see what they have nothing real cool so ended up back at home checked ebay found some RFID FOB systems i could use but looking in my electrical tool kit, found a tachometric relay (normally used to control the gas lock off on an LPG install) at the bottom on the box and I already had a push button on the side of the bike used as a prime/purge button for the fuel / turbo drain that I don't need.
Ended up fitting the tachometric relay to fire an ignition relay. So to start the bike you have to hit the push button on the side then hit the start before it times out and to turn it off just flick the run switch to the off position and it turns off the ignition.
I know that a lot of words with no pic's and if you managed to read it all what do you think
1/ Its all to much just fit a key and be done with it?
2/ Its gunna be trouble later on?
3/ COOL run with it?
4/ Im a dick and should stop posting dribble
3
I'm the one with a case of 4
3.
The problem that I see is that there is no way to make sure the secure. Anyone who knows how to start it can go u to the bike and start her up...
Was thinking the same about security but really not that worried the only place it gets parked is in the garage at home or on weekends away locked in a shed/garage and if someone gets in to take a bike then they have a huge range to pick from.
Eventually I will get a RFID system and put it on
Security is an easy one. Install a magnetic reed switch in the low current master wire from jacar, while your there pick up a rare earth magnet at the same time. Pop it behind some plastic somewhere on the bike (tag of relay for instance) Bike is secure instant you pull the magnet !
Sounds easy looks like a trip to JCAR agian
So went for a run upto Pav's today to say GDay all went well.................................. Until............................................. ........We got to Pie in the sky a highway copper found us. My mate got booked 121 in an 80 zone fucking sucks but it happens no point whinging on about it as we had been warned earlier, me well I was doing the speed limit ;) (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) anyway when he got behind us and hit the lights I pulled up with my mate (probably didn't need to as it turns out but didn't know that at the time ) and parked up the inside of his bike to hide mine as best I could. Mate got booked for speed and a warning for indicators not being 300mm apart. I was like sweet lets go, not so fast, after a little chat and checking over my bike he asks me to start my bike fucking thing wont start ( been good till then) finally get it running, he check the exhaust note tells me its OK but Im getting a defect (I'm thinking like fuck here we go). I ended up getting defected Indicators not 300mm apart, number plate not at the correct angle and no rear reflector. Apparently the rest of the bike is OK :cool: now just gotta get a clearance done and all is good.
He did say that if I get defected twice for the same thing the RTA will cancel my rego.
