The little CH compressor if barely even good enough for touch-up but a 26 gal should be able to handle it fine. i painted all my body-work with a craftsman compressor that couldn't have been much more than 26 gallons

I am using a Harbor freight gun. they cost $15 and i like it better than the low end ($60) HVLP guns i have tried.

 

Damn dude that is going to be one really sick custom fighter!!!

 

surprised you havent wrapped your headlight hosing in cf yet

bike keeps impressing me more and more man

 

haha. the stuff like that is the next step... thanks dude, i appreciate it!

okay... sorry for the delay.. i have had a touch of something recently so havent been doing a whole lot of anything.

but... i did get a little done

Speed cone on the adapter...


adapter and collector all welded up...


not much clearance... lol


the wiring was a mess... but thankfully it hadnt been modified much.


here it is in the basic shape..


and all wrapped up.


and... installed on the bike. it is pretty invisible


with the body-work on you cant see it at all.


and... more pictures.


the sprockets are all lined up.


and i had to spin the heat sink around to make the wiring work... but i think it looks cool


and now... the coup de gras
this morning i got it started... i still need to tune the carbs as it shuts off when you touch the throttle or choke... but it is something!


more soon!

 

clean and mean dude ,, great build bro , its all in the details...

 

what ignition gas cap and key do you have on it?. the stock f2 or one from a newer one?.. please tell me its from a newer one and that you can help me with getting one

 

lol i know this is supposed to be a fighter but reminds me more of a old cafe style bike haha....

 

i have the stock '93 ignition on the bike, however i have a custom billet aluminum gas cap that doesnt have a lock.

however i will help you with what you need... are you looking for a newer ignition?

okayyyyy
so. there hasnt been alot of work going on recently, due to a whole bunch of reasons, however. i do have an update.

I made a restrictor for my exhaust modeled after the one jardine will see you for $40
Jardine:


Mine:


So then i hooked the carbs up to sync them. they were really far off.


but, by the time i was finished, the bike was running pretty well. it idles well and will run with the choke off (major accomplishment for me)


I also did some electrical work. now my turn signals and lights work.


then i decided i needed to put my speedo in, so... i had to compare the wiring diagrams.


and figured out where to hook up the tachometer feed to the coil.... but it isnt working yet =(


and she works! more or less. i have molex connectors in the mail, and i still have to hook up my tachometer and speedo magnets, but the wiring is done.

thanks so much more to comes soon!

 

Wow, looks amazing man. Good work!

 

Come on brother, it's almost done!!!
You must be just waiting to ride her
Keep the updates coming, excellent work is really aprecciated around here
