Thanks for the responses guys, when I was looking for the battery I made sure it's good for these kinds of voltages. the battery is rated for 14.5v-14.9v, should I look for one that goes a bit higher? Also. Just to clear things up, does the voltage regulator switch tthe stator on and off to...

Good morning lads, Been having troubles with my charging system now that I've been putting the kms on the bike. I've been using this battery http://www.amazon.ca/UPG-UB1250-Sealed-Lead-Batteries/dp/B001DL9IBC After a good ride at highway speed it seems to fry the battery. I pulled...

Here's a few more of how it sits now. Also took off my clutch cover to look at the kick start guts. The odd time it doesn't engage and slips but I think its due to not giving that little line up before I give it the kick. I'm always cautious to not karate kick the thing cause I've seen...

So its been almost a year since the last update, I've done a lot of work to it, as well as lots of changes. last summer I got it all tuned up and running well, built simple wiring harnesses for the engine, now just adding the final touches wiring up lights and getting it to look how I want...

Yup! Sure is

Any write up bout that seat? Awesome build!

I tried and the 650 tank is a lot narrower, If you relocated the coils and reworked the mounting point it would work (I think). Not a bolt on deal.

And another Phone won't let me post em together.

Here's a pic

Nother update, got the frame cleaned up and welded, tabs ground off and electronics tray built. Just assembyled the bike and wired it up. Started right up. Super simple wiring right now, I read drewpys wiring thread daily lol. I'm gonna finish mocking up the fenders, tear it back apart, and...

Running only when choked to me sounds like its starving for fuel, is there an air leak in your fuel line? or your petcock/line clogged? I've seen this happen. Just my .02 since it sounds like you've gone over the carbs quite thoroughly I'd start looking elsewhere.

I've done a lot of research regarding batteries but I still have no idea what one to get! I'm building a cafe style 82' 400 heritage special I'm in the fabrication stage and I need to know what size of batt ill be putting in it. Curious if you guys have good expirience with any particular...

Hey, I just removed my starter and I was thinking bout using a freeze plug too! What size did you use? im thinkng a small block chev would be close.

Ha ha yeah 7/8 sounds right I didn't measure I just lined it up and the frame and handlebar tubing matched! I was actually trying to mod my stock bars, but when I placed the bars together in that shape I knew I had to use em for my loop. One less bend to do!

I just did it, used handlebar tubing its the same outer and inner diameter as the frame tubes. My uncle has a press in his shop and we bent it with that, kinked a little but I'm happy with it overall!

Here's one more

Here's my fabricated rear end section! Gotta weld on one or two more braces, clean it up and paint it. Won't let me upload more than one pic at a time on my phone, and it's sideways lol

Didn't get started on the wiring yet, but I got my rear frame piece bent. I came straight home and got it all welded up few more welds and the frame is done! Picked up a bunch of wiring supplies too! More pics soon..

Gonna be a busy weekend, but I'm gonna try and find time to start wiring! Gonna try to write up a spreadsheet of all my materials and pick em up on my way home. any wiring advice or tips would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Welp I've got my wiring diagram drawn out, well at least for the engine anyways...... It would be awesome if you guys could chime in and lemme know where I screwed up lol I based it off the simple digram I posted above, and then figured out the Ignition module from this factory diagram I found...
