I have a set of those bs38s I don't need.Good year, for parts or for fixing up. The carb set is the last and best of the 38's, and the speedo reads past 85, lol.
Why are the tanks always dented? LOL!Good year, for parts or for fixing up. The carb set is the last and best of the 38's, and the speedo reads past 85, lol.
Man that headlight bucket is a life goal. Including it in my 5 year plan.Rewiring - a couple photos of a rewiring of my 77D (my No 2 barn find - lots of work in progress).
Just finished installing Tri-Spark and sent a heap of parts away for chroming which will take 12 weeks, so good opportunity to do the rewire.
Its a very simple design - relay is triggered by the ignition switch, this connects battery with fuse box via a very short run. Fuse box distributes 7 circuits to where its needed.
Headlights are by nature a mess - thats the best I could do to try to organise it a bit.
All original wiring put away for safe keeping, but I am stuck with a lot of the original wiring, in the headlight shell, from the tacho, speedo and pilot box hence the number of unused connectors showing.
I put the original handlebar controls away for safe keeping and splashed out on aftermarket controls and cut out the wires I didnt need - to keep the minamilist approach.
Regards Ray.

Today the UNI-POD filters arrived from the USA so I have trial fitted them to see how they look.
Also fitted new COILS from Yambits; together with leads, caps and plugs.

Thanks @Lucky Phil ,Very cool
More pictures please
Thank you! And ya I can’t even imagine. Not sure of any place around here that could do that so didn’t even attempt itNice wheel JesseeS
I wish I bought the complete Cognito wheel.
Getting the wheel built to the hub locally was a real PITA.
That's "usually" a good indicator that the coil/HT leads are on the wrong plugs. Try swapping 'em...Initial try this afternoon created one massive backfire in the exhaust pipe, so....
