well, I got some stuff donr this weekend. made some headlight brackets for the V-rod headlight, and tweaked the guage mount to get it to sit where I like it. made up my plug wires (Taylor Thundervolt 50's) friggin thick wires B) and I started wiring. I gotta say, I love the m unit. All it looks for is a ground from the switch to the input side. gotta love solid state technology.

The V-Rod light looks great! Are there any troubles wiring it in, or is it pretty standard? Are you posting your wiring diagram with the M-Unit? :whistle: Looks awesome, how long do you think before you can fire it up?

Ya I saw the vrod headlight on another build and havnt seen one I liked as much since. It wires up easily, 1 common ground one high one low wire.Hopefully have it running by the end of the week (not rideable tho) and I drew up a wiring diagram but it looks kinda childish so Idk if I want it seen haha.

yea leon its nice to finally hear it. man i was happy when i heard it crank over when i was checking my wiring. Im waiting on some por15 tank liner and im gonna have to bite the bullet on a new petcock. i just ran some fuel in there from the little bike just to see what would happen. I promise a running video once I get the tank on and get the carbs sorted out. hopefully a week or 2

Alright guys it been a while since my last update, and I know I promised a running video but......





I was starting to tune the carbs when I noticed one was way off. Turns out #2 was at like 50psi and the rest were 125. Did a leak-down and found intake valve was leaking. BTW these foam tubes fit perfectly when the jugs are out. I sent the head out and just got it back last night, lookin sweet




still waiting on a flex hone and some other bits, anyone ever use snap rings or equivalent in place of those stupid circlips?

:unsure: Perhaps teflon buttons might be a feasible option?
