    DC Can you go into more detail on hooking it all up? This stuff makes no sense to me so bare with me.

    hooking up engine on the stand for testing??

    I will be doing it with a starter if possible. I still want to do this even if it's of no big use. I believe it will be beneficial to me.

    Still moving along with my build. I love the seat mount. It's made by Mustang for the Yamaha Bolt solo seat conversion. It took a little cutting to make it accept the seat properly but not a lot. I also lowered the shocks 3", shaved the triple trees as well as putting the headlight mount on...

    hooking up engine on the stand for testing??

    I have a different complete engine that I'm going to use for this project. I believe it's a 79' engine but I'll have to check to be sure. DownEaster I might just pick your brain some if your up for helping someone that's a little slow when it comes to the electronics. I'll get a pic of what...

    hooking up engine on the stand for testing??

    I'm using something similar to one of Hughs stands that I've seen. It's almost done. I've always wanted to do something like this. I just now got around to doing it. Sorry that the pic is side ways.

    hooking up engine on the stand for testing??

    I agree. I just want to play around with tuning on a spare motor in the garage over the winter. What do I need from the stock stuff to chop a harness to make it work.

    hooking up engine on the stand for testing??

    Downeaster Thats exactly what I'm wanting. I'll try to study your pic a bit more. Is there a simple hack wiring scheme to get one running on the stand. Thanks guys.

    hooking up engine on the stand for testing??

    I've been looking and can't find anything on setting up an engine on a stand for testing. I'd like to do something like Hughs Hand Built test stand. I need help with what all is needed to hook it up and make it run. Thanks and sorry if this has been covered before.

    The pipes on my first build are from Gordon Scott. He does some really nice work.

    Ok I got some stuff done. My good friend Josh welded up the frame and neck gussets. I couldn't ask for a better look as far as the stretch and seat drop. It looks better than I was hoping for. I still need to lower the forks. I also started to soda blast some of the engine parts. It's been a...
