Updates, got a job in the next town over at a hardware/everything store in January. First thing we did when I got here was expand the hardware section and sell all the rental tools and equipment, leaving me with a very nice shop space full of tools and such (making playing with this bike a...

would you want to have the speedo and the headlight on the same mount like I'm working on here or have just the top centered speedo part? I'm considering just making one just like the top of this one is just to center the speedo and then mounting the headlight lower on its own like I see some...

blah the seat idea was stupid haha I'll figure something out eventually but lately I've been working on a new bracket for the speedo and headlight (new headlight to come, bottom mount) got a piece of 16ga from a metal shop nearby, measured and drew out plans, measured and drew it on the...

Been doing the basics, tach gone signals gone rear spring covers gone, cut the front fender last night and grinded it round today. used a marker a magnet and dental floss to draw the curve haha, came out nice I only cut the front for now I'll see what else I decide. I want to make a new bracket...

I dig that! I think I will do something similar as it is nice to have those lights, I just hated the ugly box they are in!

I ask a lot of questions but that's what forums are for right? How about removing the neutral/oil/turn signals indicator? all they are is lights again, take it off and unhook the wiring to it in the headlight housing? Will it effect any actual workings of anything or all that will happen is...

ohhh so then you didn't mean I would lose the high beam itself, you meant I would lose the little "your high beams are on" message light? haha well then thanks again Chris

actually why get rid of it when I don't have to, the highbeam is switchable and if removing the tach removes the highbeam then the circuit must pass through the tach because of the alert light to let you know when the highs are on...right? the wires to that are a black and a yellow (the other...

puh, high beam..I'll just give it a reacharound and angle it up if I have to haha Thank you sir

yes this has been discussed before but rather than try to get anyone to pay attention to an old thread I'll ask in my way to find out what I want I don't need a tach, I always had dirtbikes and fourwheelers I don't think it's hard to go by feel and sound, I found out how to remove the cable...

well it won't go through either hole in the on position and when you put it to res and put it in hole A it backs up through hole B and when you put it in hole B it backs up through hole A so I put the damn thing on and I'll just see what happens if I run out of gas...if I switch it to reserve...

I'm thinking I will take a very small funnel and pour it in the openings and switch it from on to res and see if I can find out which hole is which, then know what side the high and low side of the filter belongs with, I went to a yamaha dealer in town and got a diagram and even that didn't...

Would it not be a good idea to have the fuel filtered before getting to the shutoff though? tiny holes throughout the shutoff could be plugged and gas never make it to the in-line filter after the shutoff right?

thank you for the inputs everyone! I'll get her going and turned on hottttt soon I hope!!

do you think it would matter which way I put it on there? there are two females on the shutoff and one male on the filter with a female next to it. which babe on the shutoff should the male go after?
