You're using a mechanical or electrical gauge? and hey... no apology neccessary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlh3rd Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share #203 Posted March 25, 2009 i'm using an electrical..........but, as i've said in previous posts, i'd use mechanical,... knowing what i know now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted March 25, 2009 Share #204 Posted March 25, 2009 i'm using an electrical..........but, as i've said in previous posts, i'd use mechanical,... knowing what i know now.. I asked to save reading backwards to check my memory (I did recall you using electrical coz I looked closely at your fittings pics). I haven't checked yet but it appears that if I use the non-fouler, plus the adapter, plus the fittings for the sending unit, I won't have enuf room.

jlh3rd Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share #205 Posted March 25, 2009 no,... there is room, unless your mechanical sending unit is taller than mine..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted March 25, 2009 Share #206 Posted March 25, 2009 no,... there is room, unless your mechanical sending unit is taller than mine..... Looking at the pic of yours (the electrical one), yes, mine is taller if I use the non-fouler also. I would then have the non-fouler, the modified adapter, the fitting from the kit and then the sending unit. Take away the non-fouler, and mine would be about the same height.

Guest Lightnen Posted March 26, 2009 Share #211 Posted March 26, 2009 Well fellow's I think I've come across another problem at least here that is. Problem is I've got power on that extra wire that was an exzillory wire. Lets see, I cut the two wires about 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the white plug and added the possitive side of Amp gauge, now the wires left I put to negitive side of amp gauge with this extra wire for exzillory (whitch I put a 6 gang fuse panel. Now I just hooked up my saddle rail lights and fliped the switch and they came on. Hmmmmmm I thought this extra wire would be governed my the main key switch whitch it is not. Now I'm wondering if this is hooked up right or did I blow or short out the plug wires perhaps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted March 26, 2009 Share #212 Posted March 26, 2009 If you hooked up the wires exactly like I described in the tech article, the aux power wire will always be hot - you use it for anything that you would ordinarily want to connect directly to the battery. If you want the circuit to be switched with the key, like with driving lights, run the power to a light relay and have the relay energized from the existing headlight circuit. I probably would not connect low current draw running lights to that aux circuit - nothing wrong with that, but just not necessary. Instead, connect extra LED lights to the existing bike light circuits at the plug behind the battery. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lightnen Posted March 27, 2009 Share #213 Posted March 27, 2009 Ok got ya there Goose, think I've got a handle on this now. Should have used a meter on this first. Did a test run last night and found that my fan does come on around 220 Degrees which is good to know.. Just a hopping I don't spring any leaks..

Ponch Posted April 1, 2009 Share #214 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) I thought I would try to flush mount mine. I like it. I used 1/8" 2024 Aluminum plate and massaged it to fit in the cassette door opening, polished the face and secured it from behind using the cassette player mounting holes.

Ponch Posted April 1, 2009 Share #217 Posted April 1, 2009 what is the 2024 number mean and why? Polish better? Thanks, Jeff Naw, its just the grade we have at work. There are a lot of different grades. 2024 and 7075 machine very well. 6061 is a little softer but welds better. Ponch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted April 8, 2009 Share #224 Posted April 8, 2009 Don, Can you take this Entire Thread and place into the TECH Section soon? There are so many great idea's and folks have there different ways that I think it would be good just to place the whole damn thing into it. That way when I proceed one day with this , I will be able to look back and find it. I have all my parts laying on the work bench now *lol* And sure enough if I start the project it will get sunny and warm for riding Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
