  1. Yesterday
  2. put it on charge for a while then you can do a proper charge test when running
  3. Battery reading was 11.5VDC and heading up. We had been starting and stopping the bike so I guess I just accepted that it might be below 12VDC.
  4. ive seen reg/rec earth wire mounted to the electrical plate which is rubber mounted from the frame before is the battery flat ? should be more Volts than 11.5 though
  5. Well I am the big dumb-ey on this one. After reading the comments I went back to the start and re-measured. After testing everything at 5k rpm I found stator output was almost 100vac but DC at the battery was still at 11 vdc and going down. Thank god for my buddy who asked the question "Is the rectifier grounded?" Bingo! My dumb ass had used the rectifier mounting screw as a ground. One continuity check later and no connection to chassis ground was found. After relocating the ground to a better suited location and bang we are online. DC voltage at 11.5 and going up. Thank you all for your help and thoughts. Someday my dumb ass phase will pass, but at 42 I am starting to wonder if that will ever happen.
  6. He has a wooden former he uses for the sections of the tank i have seen something posted on faceache or youtube of him (ETTO) making a gs1000 tank
  7. Big thanks to @yantosh, @Dangerous, @redgs1000, Edd, Mark and Tom W. for bringing their bikes. And @Burnout, for the bringing an upside-down pineapple....... A great variety of different Old Skool bikes on the stand. The busiest I've ever seen our stand, loads of interest in all the bikes. 3 off the bikes getting rosettes rounded off a fantastic weekend. Here's to next year!
  8. Thanks, useful to know. Probike are decent lifts, it sounds like the Automech are the same deal but a bit cheaper.
  9. Yep it’s good to see a change Not used them a lot as just in this week but they are solidly built they. Are a copy of pro bike no doubt In the garage where the ramps are used daily with heavy kit on we bought 2 2 year ago year and not a pick of bother we have 6 US Bendpacks too ( the best you can get ) the Automech are just a copy of those too. we only bought them as we couldn’t get Bendpack because of Covid
  10. Last week
  11. Made to order or bought as stock? ( I know he makes all of them, I guess the question is did you commission it?)
  12. Im guessing the redline is similar to this particular Black Box
  13. I'll leave the girlfriend comments to @Blubberas that's more his area of expertise. As for the bike, it's coming together nicely. Always a great point when you get the big lumps going together, really lifts the mood and motivation even when you know the next phase is all the time consuming can barely see a change stuff. On a side note, how do you rate those Automech ramps? I'll need another when I move and the Pro-Bike lift I have is good but a few hundred more.
  14. they were fine only used 6 months as moved the blandit on
  15. Hi was wondering if the blunt force trauma bike may be for sale regards
  16. Thnaks for that. Whats the wear rate like?
  17. i had a pair of similar wave discs on a B12 that looked very similar to there other items most are made from material similar to "Hardox 400" they were fine no issues .. these were they but cheaper back in 2020 https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/176116472636?fits=UKM_StreetName%3ABandit&itmmeta=01HS6A5KY9VY6C5PCDDTFYFTAQ&hash=item29015c1b3c:g:OUYAAOSwzTNlgpMi
  18. Hello all, I'm looking at these discs on Eblag, anyone bought this brand, and if so are they any good? Suzuki GSX 600 F 1998-2002 [Pair of Comet Front Brake Discs] [Black RF-Series] | Eblag I'm sure they're far eastern made but the majority probably are nowadays Cheers Brad
  19. I put the swingarm back in made some wheel spacers to centre the zx10r Dymag back wheel. Took it with me to Etto's when I picked the aluminium GS tank up to discuss the swingarm arm. He would make me another but it would be very expensive and he is booked up with work until next summer, so coming back to the idea of doing it myself.
  20. Aghh crap... All these pictures are loading except the one of said girlfriend . Ps... sorry if i have a loud inner Quagmire
  21. You're right it can and does, so I've allowed for that in the calculations. Once it's properly complete and mobile I'll be able to strap down the suspension to load it and do a real world check. There are loads of factors to take into account (tyre width and stiffness, suspension settings, CoG of the bike, corner camber etc) and calcs will only give you a rough guide.
  22. Funny you should say that, I have one coming up very soon after the move is done. It will involve a Katana, a GSX1400 and a Hayabusa.
