650 Mod's 78 Fighter Build

Nice! Inspiration & aspirations. Difficult to focus on the workout with that staring at you thru the windows eh? :laugh:

GPZ- this is up in Thunder Bay, Ontario (Canada) so it must be a common restore colour.

Wrench- it's a good thing I was all done when I saw this- otherwise it might have made things a little difficult to focus on!

"Colour" must make it commonwealth :laugh:

I was thinking along the lines of being a member's.

How to tell if you're an old bike nut;

You're more distracted by the Z1 in the gym parking lot than the hottie rocking the Stairmaster.

Haha up here in Canada we have some different spelling on some words

Haha pretty much, when you tend to stare at the bike more than the other masterpiece

The realistic probability of riding one as opposed to the other starts to sink in as well.

Happy Canada Day, Eh!

Yes, Happy Canada Day Devin!

My sister sent this to my phone today:



I had to look it up on my computer just now and also found [ Oh Canada ! ] but didn't know if that was frowned upon here on the forum.
But it does fit in with the earlier dilemma of what to watch while working out...

Once, someone asked me "How come you always put extra U's in words?" and I had to think about it for a few seconds before I replied "I'm not sure; how come you don't?" :laugh:
Lift one of those fine Molson beverages for me Devin! (sorry for the hijack)

Hahaha GPZ! That's awesome!

Thanks, boys! Happy (early) 4th of July/Independence Day to the two of you as well!

Wrench- That's pretty darn Canadian if I do say so myself! Almost as Canadian as this...




We had a stupid amount of rain over the last few weeks, and then one day we got hit with 4 inches of rain in 9 hours. This is one of my friends paddling through the Beer Store parking lot in a foot and a half of water... Yeah, that much...

Have a good weekend guys! Get out and enjoy the weather if you can!

Devin

Shouldn't that beer name be spelled "Molsoun"? Ed

Potato, potatoe... either or, beer is beer

Devin

So I know this is probably a question that has been beaten like a dead horse....

But... Ever since I changed the ignition over to the Dyna unit, my tach has been reading all over, within a span of 300 +/- the actual RPM the bike is running at. Right now, I have the tach line for my Acewell unit (electronic) just wrapped around one spark wire like it said in the installation instructions. I know that I can also hook it up directly into a coil wire, but I just want to make sure I'm thinking of the proper one before I go and splice the line in.

Hooking the tach line up to the hot line (power to coils) wouldn't be right, so I'm assuming I tie it into one of the output lines on either coil. Am I right in thinking this?

Any input is appreciated as I just want to get a more steady tach so I know when I'm pushing the limits too hard instead of trying to gauge it off sound.

Thanks!

I don't let it get that low like I did in my terrible 20's but on the FWY going up the I 15 and hitting reserve gives me another 17 miles. That's why the filters are so important. Sucking all the crud from the bottom can make for one FK"ed up day. :whistle:

been there, done that for the last quart of fuel and 7-8 miles to gas station!!
