anyone know what this does?

Call the phone number on it. Lol

Its an alternate path to power your head light if the fuse blows I believe.

Here's what it's supposed to do --

If the filament in the high bean bulb fails, the low beam automatically turns on to keep the headlight lit.

If the filament in the low bean bulb fails, the high beam automatically turns on -- at slightly reduced voltage -- to keep the headlight lit.

The slightly reduced voltage when automatically switching to high bean is to reduce the risk of blinding any oncoming traffic.

Good Fortune!

Ah I see. That's a good idea. But I'm afraid it's got to go. No room for that nonsense now. LOL. I think I got the rear brake figured out tonight. We'll the hard part any way. I'm using the stock lever because I don't want forward controls and I don't want to spend the money on something else. Here is my set up. Sorry for the blurry pic.




Any opinions on weather this will work ok, and how does it look? I noticed after the second pic that the rod looked at an angle so I fixed that already. Also hooked up the return spring to the pin holding the rod to the linkage. Al that's left is hook up the break light switch.

Yes I hate the slag. All I have at the moment though. I'm checking in buying a tank for gas soon.

Thanks- I was hoping there was a version of those that are 17s, but no luck. I am going with those rims for another steampunk project, they look enough like locomotive rims to get what i want. So I am now looking for those rims, forks etc LOL.

Slag is no biggie. Wire wheel takes it right off. Just don't get inclusions in the weld itself!

no problem, check the for sale section. i have another set except the back is 18" instead of 16.

Got some more parts in today. All excited cause I got my sprockets from Z1 enterprises. We'll that didn't last long, the chain I bought is 120 link not even thinking I needed longer. Well I'm about 6 links short. Also a heads up for anyone that is changing to a 530 setup. If you have the bolt and flanged nut that you bend the tabs around on your bike. The 18 tooth front sprocket that Z1 sells DOES NOT have the holes for the locking tabs to go into So I guess I'm either buying a longer chain or getting another 120 to make mine longer. Also bought some plug wires I like. Looking forward to putting those on hopefully tomorrow. Then I'll be down to wiring the bike. Heres a shot of the parts I got today. A special thanks to KZ10006 for getting me the shift lever I needed. Great price and fast shipping. Would definitely buy from him again.
