long live the rat bike.
Big ass rat!
PS. Saw this shirt today, thought it was great:
Your time, patience, and creativity are well expressed! I would like to know where you got your plastics. They look similar to a set I've seen continually offered on ebay. If so, are these the aftermarket set from China? And (another 'If so...') how was the detail in fitting them to your bike? Good job and congrats on a sweet build!
An oak plank? I LOVE IT!!!!!!
I don't know about those Chinese rotors man. Seems like they wouldn't be safe? But then again what do I care, I just put on some 12 dollar brake pads.
LOVIN the gauges Does the gear indicator on the gauge work ?
Perfectly! and the position is great. I plan to build a bar-graph LED fuel gauge to go next to it next week.
Are you going to unhook the idiot light in the stock gauges then?
Keep us posted I am following this gauge mod very close..
Great job, I LOVE IT!!
Yes, from what I have been reading, the stock fuel level sensor is just a rheostat with defined low and high ohm ratings. I hope to couple that with a simple LM3914 and a bargraph LED (8 green and 2 red bars). The only problem I foresee is that the sloshing in the tank will actually make the bargraph display erratic, but one step at a time! I got to thinking that it is actually possible to make up a circuit with LEDs that come on at specific tank levels so the halfway mark is actually halfway!
