    these flow .5liter per minute is says...i was considering getting 2 pingle petcocks which flow twice that...conversed with engine guy about it and he said it be pointless. the ones i got will do fine supposedly. now i just have to get the bungs welded in and the tank welded up and that will be one huge milestone done. too bad the place i ordered the bungs from cant ship the right order.

    i talked to the guy putting the engine together...he said something that flow of petcocks isnt too much of an issue as long as it flows enough to keep the bowl full. but honestly, i dont know shit about carbs.

  12. SV650 rear wheel question?

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted

    I came across a picture of a cafed out honda with what looks like a sv650 rear wheel. I have the idea to use that on my own cafe project seen here...

    http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=68121

    But before i buy one id like to get some more info that i cannot find from searching. i know the axle is the same size as my stock cb500, the rim width is only is 4.5 and stock wheel is 4.0 on the honda. Im wondering if some one knows or has the ability to find out..."what is the width of the rear wheel assembly...being from outside the rotor to outside the sprocket?"

    Appreciate any and all help.

    Thanks

    General To do list:

    tank(welding)

    paint/powder

    electrical

    upholstery

    rear wheel(sv650?)

    Those are the big things.

    found them on superbrightleds.com and thought they looked cool. now i just got to figure out how to mount them. i tested them using a 6v lithium battery...i hope theyll be bright enough with a moty design battery i plan on getting. i figure ill wire up the outer eing as the running light, and have the inner ring come on with the brake.
