gm,your bike looks pretty good,pipe looks like a bought one.todays phones do take good pics

Thanks Bruce, bit of stuffing about to get there but I'm happy with how it looks and the ground clearance.

Been talking to a bloke about tuning the bike properly, while he is happy to tune it with the 590's he suggested I consider a different cam set, seems I have more options than I thought.

Been looking into what springs to use with these cams and come up with some info on the stock 110 springs that I didn't know, apparently they don't coil bind untill .680" and have a safe lift of .640", this came from a well know state side head porter, he said he doesn't recommend anything over .625", just that that's the facts.

On a different project I have got the bits together to make up the shift light, chose a small led indicator/run light, the idea being to run the feed through an on/off/on switch so it can be either off, bright light for daytime or dull for night.

Hey guys, you seem to spruking the quickshifter so much I had to get one. 

You do realise these are HD's, and not sports bikes?  Am i missing something here?  Old R1 had a change light and quick shifter....but it also did 120 in first gear!

I look at them like old Chevy's, stock is fine for grandad but some of us want to play, you know, ride the wave, maybe one-day if I've given up on having fun for the sake of it I'll have that kind of attitude but once your over 50 growing up is optional, so probably never happen.

You both don't get it obviously.

Anyway, Balof I stuffed around with the cheap Chinese mount and squared it up, made the mount hole a real inch instead of whatever it was, settled on this mounting configuration as it puts the light where I want it hight wise and the wiring will flow into the loom nice.

I'm a Collingwood supporter, used to ridicule.

You really need a two stage one that flashes one color as you get 'near' the shift point and then another more urgently as your about to hit it.  

So you was a forerunner on heads up display mate :) 

Got the shift light fitted, decided I wanted it lower so I cut down the indicator mount stem to bring it closer to bars for a cleaner look with wires being able to go into the existing wiring bundle.
Pulled the light apart before I went right through, filed the base flat and tapped the hole nearly into the shell.

Put a bit of 243 on the mounting thread and nipped it into the housing.

Ran some twin core along the loom under the tank, put a plug on the module end, the other end at the switch is spade bits as that's what the switch terminals are.
Put a three way switch up front where the auxiliary light switch would be, it can be off, bright or dull depending on switch position.
Looks like this when activated in the two on positions....

Should be able to see that even while hanging on for grim death.

28000km......bit sad really when you factor in 4 years, think it's a case of born to ride but forced to work.....

Not much in it, 2mm new one, old 1.6mm

Still use it :)
