Little electronic speedo with magnets on the disc, like a bicycle speedo.

Similar to this.

Very impressive and more than a little intimidating. Thanks for letting us along for the build.

Very true Carbon!

Im doing great! Mom and Hannah are great too, she's an absolute gem! Hasn't woken us in the night once since she was born! We now get to lie in on weekends too! She usually only wakes up at about 8am! What bliss! Always happy, hardly cries, olny when she's hungry/tired/wet/ bloated/dirty, and then it usually is just a whimper!

Getting big now! Weighs almost 15lbs! And she's only 3 months old! She is the Best thing to ever happen to me!

 

[I am Carbon]

Very happy to hear that Mate!
A guy couldn't ask for to much more than that!

Wow, she is getting so big, love every moment, they grow up fast.

Yeah man! She's 5 months old today!!!

So I got her all wired up today, finished her all up! Took her outside, kicked her over till I was blue n the face, NOTHING..............

Called it a day as it was getting real cold and dark. Also the hydro clutch seems to be fubar'ed so I am going back to clutch cable for now. MORE HANG uPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[I am Carbon]

I think if I've got this figured right, Hanna's 1st birthday will occur when your bike is the calendar bike.

Hope it's running by then...

Dude so close!!! My bike is September and Hannah's is at the end of August!! SHOULD be up and running by then!!!

 

[I am Carbon]

Hey If that bike isn't running by then I'm comming over there and and Help Ya out Mate!

 

[Airwolfie]

Added a little something as my choke button broke off, Wade from Six Kick Customs made me this lovely brass button!

I also started replacing the clutch with a cable, and changed the MC on the front brakes as well, but then ran out of time. Hopefully next weekend I can sort the electrical problem out, and finish off the rest.
