The part in the video is the easy part. Actually making the part. It is the making of the mold the requires the most talent and hard work. I have made some parts for use on model aircraft, it is not a fun job, but some times it is the only way to get what you need/want. I have another project that I am just working up the ambition to start where I will be making a custom fuel tank to fit into a jet. It will be made from kevlar cloth, the process is the same wether you use carbon, glass, kevlar, or any other cloth.

Lithium batteries have very specific charging requirements. The charging system on your bike may not be able to charge the battery properly unless the charging circuitry is built into the battery. On the page for that battery they specifically list a MAX charge rate of 18Amps. When talking lithium batteries there is great danger in exceeding the recommended charge rate. LiFe batteries are rated at 3.3V per cell operating but charges to 3.6V per cell. Which means that you will have either a 9.9V (3 cell) or a 13.2V (4 cell) battery. These batteries will be at 10.8V (3 cell) or 14.4V (4 cell) when fully charged. If your bikes electrical system can not provide 14.4 volts the battery will never fully charge and you will not get the rated CCA or AH. I'll stick with lead and acid. I've seen a lithium battery get over charged, it was spectacular. Lithium batteries are great, I use a lot of them, but the system must be designed for them to safely get the full benefit of them.

Hmmmmmmm Maybe we need someone in Canada to pass stuff from the UK through.

Kin I kick you tooo?? You could make it tough by specifying other than DQ. We all know right where to find at least a half dozen DQs.

DANG!! I was seriously considering painting mine a very bright yellow. I wanted bright yellow and black trim with NO CHROME on anything. I LIKE IT!!! That looks great. I just wish it was a better picture.

I have accomplished hooking up the battery tender and that is about it. I am hoping to place an order for steel in about 2 weeks so I can start building my receiver hitch and valve tool. Once I have a hitch then I need to build and/or aquire a trailer before MD. I still need ti find out exactly why I have this huge green puddle under the bike and fix that so that it can be driven. I do not have a garage to work in and it has snowed every single day this year. -
That is the one that I have. My red wire does not show so that was not an issue for me. You could cover it with some of that corrugated looking wire cover stuff or spiral wrap. It even comes in chrome http://www.scootworks.com/swcart/shop/bbp/4-230.jpg

Already the scheming and deceiving and conniving has started??? Poor Don:duck:

But isn't seeing where you are going on a dark winding deserted road.....priceless?

I tried that once. But I said "boy is your boyfriend in for a surprise". Same result.

It is a well known issue with the 2nd gens. You need to add some kind of switch so that it is not trying to light till after the engine is started. The battery voltage drops to low while cranking for the ballast to keep working.

I know that they have a bunch of sales and clearance stuff right now.

The bear meat is packed away with the other birds. NEXT........?

If I use your trailer, then how are you going to get to Dons???:confused24:
-
Oh man, I still can't decide between the 2 MDs. I don't think I can escape two weekends in a row. If I can get a trailer on my bike to haul the camping gear then I would really like to make my first appearance at Dons. The better half does not ride. Besides, I can get into a lot more trouble without her.....

Well at least one of them can smile.....

Is this the new Beer30 rig?
-
And just how much research have YOU been doing into this tattoo theory of yours.:scared:
-
HA! We made it up to 5 today. Last night was the first time in 2 years that we officially fell below zero. So far the record is holding, It has snowed every day this year.
-
If you drink the 5th it will make the Bear meat more Bearable.
