What do you mean?

I'll just make an offset sproket for the front and machine a spacer for the rear..

Sorry for being so slack lately! Summer arrived and the harley n boat got all the attention. Second set of spokes arrived and I test laced my wheels. Original drum brake hubs drilled out to 4.5mm laced to 5.25" and 3.5" supermoto rims with 8G stainless spokes. It CAN be done

Slowly getting there eh!! got the patterns all made up for the tail section just have to get around to cutting the alloy rolling it and welding it up! spokes should be here this week so so i'll finally be able to lace up my wheels then it'll pretty much be rolling..ish! Exciting (summer here...

So this just happened..

Me too! I really hope I can fit everything, I feel like its going to be quite tight with the ignition module and keyless rfid main switch jammed in there, along with relays, speed controller etcetc I did read through those a while back, probably where i got the inspiration for it tbh. Although...

Ill happily do one when its finished! It's only a vrla, the heat and ventilation wont be a problem since it's taken care of by a 30mm ducted fan that'll push more than enough air around the battery to cool it, if anything it'll be better case venting that stock since it's forced not passive...

It just bolts on exactly the same as the factory item, but instead of having the 1 earthing point it has 7, then there are 7 wires going to the speedo and when each gear clicks through the speedo shows up what gear is earthed, Fiddly as to make but think it'll be worth it.

Right so about a year ago i picked up a little neglected xs400 for $350NZD (i live in NewZealand..) thats like $250 U.S. I chucked it in the shed over last summer while i enjoyed my new Harley but since now summer is upon me im smashing it out into something different. The plan is pretty simple...
