Reid , The cap. I have is 15000uh - 50v , just some I found on ebay, Only bad thing , the first one only lasted about 500 miles . I will be trying a battery soon.

Iam running a 15000 uf 50 v cap. on my bike , PMA, Pamco , no battery. Wired in with switch like the diagram . It will always start on 1st or 2nd kick . The problem ive had with this set up, besides flickering headlight at idle, is my cap. only lasted 500 miles . Iam going to swap out and try...

XJWMX , The cap.s I bought and am running are 15000uf - 50wv , Iam on the second one now but have ordered a 12v .8ah battery to swap out and give a try . I dont know , maybe these caps. are a p.o.s. , maybe they cant handle the rigid frame . I have seen old British caps that were spring...

Bigleebowski , yes you can run pma, kick only with cap. and no switch , I have this but with a simple switch , didnt want some one to be able to walk up and just kick it over and ride off into the sunset on my bike ! My capacitor just went bad so Iam gona try one of the small batteries and see...

Reid , Hi , I have the same set up as you except for a capasitor instead of battery. Just went through the same exact thing it sounds like . I struggled with it for 2 wknds and finally changed out my capasitor and fixed it . and from my expierence you have to have a battery or cap. hooked up or...

I would like some opinions on running a capasitor or one of the very small low amp batteries . Heres why, I spent the last 2 wkends tryin to figure out what was wrong with my bike . I have the banshee swap with pamco , kick start only . My bike would idle but would not rev up , and was getting...

Thanks , :D:D:D

Ya , I built them myself , to fit the springer front. The built in risers are about 2" tall and the curved piece was cut out of the old frame, the loop over the rear fender , behind seat. They are built to keystone measurements except a couple of inches wider. :thumbsup: ,

Wow , you must have fore arms like PoP Eye . From one that does not endulge in spinach I have lenghtened my worm gear arm , and can now operate my lever with 2 fingers . And yes , I have to admit I have rested them on ocasions .

My Keystones I built to fit my springer. 1" - 6 up - 2 back .

No , they do swivel , you weld the bolt that runs through the center of the pedal to your kick starter .

Got my pedals off ebay , just typed in bmx bear teap pedals , thier made by VP components , about 15 bucks for a set , then just welded it on .

:doh: Ya , I have that style tank on my bike . I love the way its looks , you just dont get to pass many gas stations , but my riding buddies get to take lots of rest breaks while Iam droppin my 1.75 gallons. :bike:

Hey guys , just wanted to say hello . Yes another newbie here , just finished my first build about 6 weeks ago after 14 months of work and wanted to show it off , if I can figure out how to get the pics to go through . I am so lost on these things , hope it works .
