Fixed the turbo dump pipe leak, tig welded a new one. Found out after three different modifications to my fuel pressure regulator that it is not properly constructed "taiwan". Till parts come in I started on the seat/ tail cowl. One piece when done.
I got this bike 10 years ago in pieces from a good biker friend that tore it apart running to make a hard tail chopper out of it. When real money or fab had to be put in it he gave up and dropped it off to me in boxes. I couldn't ebay it away for some reason. And here I am.
It's raw but road test ready. I want one of my buddy's to chase me with my truck just in case. 2 days and no helpers. Burnouts in the garage are getting old.
Since I can't post a video..Proper intake manifold for an engine of this style. It is a stubby tin box the size of both intake ports as close to head as possible. I have a V divider inside that comes near to the top of the throat for the carb mount. I have made a half a dozen different ones...
I know that you have to run both boxes on a stocker. Rectifier and regulator. I'm in the middle of the same. Battery no charge if you don't install both or a retrofit.
I have tried to upload a video of a startup/run/revs for the last three days. 40 baybe 50 seconds long from my phone. New phone, can't figure it out. Any suggestions?
Definite video post when it's roadworthy. In my many tests using revs or a wall dyno I'm satisfied enough to make it go somewhere without needing a truck. It has a very unique sound not like any bike I've ever heard seeing I have ridden the old cx turbo and ninja turbo.
Battery box and battery fitted. Now to start some wiring, very simple. Bar mounted On/off switch and start button. Hot lead installed on battery, ran out of solder on connectors. Back to the store. Few pix for now.
