Its definatly not Beat. Just dirty.

A buddy of mine is trying to sell this bike for his neighbor. I think her husband got sick and or passed away. He has already bought a bike from her so im assuming getting the title is not a problem. So i was over there today and heard it run and all of the light are working. What it does need is a battery, fork seals and a washin'. It was last registered in '07. The bike looks complete and well taken care of except that its not been ridden for awhile. I'm sure it will shine right up and look really nice. He told me she was wanting aound $700 for it but throw out a reasonable offer and i can pass it on. If you serious i can get you intouch with him and you can look for yourself. The bike is in Tipp City.

I picked up a set earlier this year at that price. I like them.

Plenty of them on Craigslist.

Ive used Reflective Chrome PC from Hot Point and it seems to look best on machined or polished surfaces. On a cast surface it kinda just looks like shiny silver. Also you need a clear PC over top or it will lose its luster pretty quick.

180 heading from Hocking Hills to Laurelville there was an abnormal amount of tar snakes. They seemed to be no more than 2 feet between and covering the whole lane. It was like riding on ice. I was prolly a solid 2 miles like that.

After further investigation about being legal..........No. I assumed i could just use hand signals. I will have to patch those in front and rear. All the parts for the signals were gutted when i got the bike. Except the actual lights.

The pace we kept on the way up to 33 was a good pace for me on roads i dont frequent, and being 2hrs from home. Especially when the ole blue hairs in there Buick's got out of the way.

How long they will last i dont know. Time will tell. As far as fuses everything is put in after the fuse block. I'm not running straight from the battery. At the pace this project bike is going they will last forever. Due to lack of use. I need to step my game up alittle.

That was a whole lotta kids on the gate!

Had a good time. I putted around alittle after i turned back but its just not as fun by yourself. Technically we really cant say "nobody went down", but if you havent done it yet you probally will at some point. I just happen to drop it in the privacy of my own garage. Would like to catch up with all of you again sometime.

Sounds good. Rock house between 10:30 and 11:00. Pretty sure all would like to get off the bike for a minute by that time. Its just over 2hrs for me to get there. Anden will be coming down with me. See you all in the morning.

I was planning on going down and would like to meet up with others but Carroll is just too far out of the way for me to meet up. i take 56 into Hocking Hills. If its not to much trouble would it be possible for you guys to pick up a couple more people once you get down there?

I was wanting to put this in the how-to section but i cant start a new thread. So i will just ask and answer my own question. So how can one make a single filament bulb run your running lamp and your stop lamp? Easy.....just let me explain. First you need to go to your local Radio Shack and go back to the electronic components section. Pick up a voltage regulator and a couple diodes. Also whatever lights you want to use. Pic below Wire it up just like my professional looking windows paint diagram. I am using a 9 VDC voltage regulator and 2 diodes. To get the running lamp to work you need to lower the voltage to dim the light. So the regulator knocks the voltage from 12 to 9. The diodes are there to keep the current flowing in one direction. They are like a one way street for electric to pass. Also i need to drop the voltage (dim the light)a little more to get more of a contrast between running light and brake light. With diodes you also get a slight voltage loss. About 1.6 volts per diode. Putting me at about 5.8VDC There is a stripe on the diode its self that indicates the direction of flow. So without the brake on 12 VDC goes into the reg., comes out 9, passes thru both diodes making both lights run on 5.8VDC. Now when you hit the brake pedal 12VDC goes thru the switch into both lights making them "stop lamps" and the diodes stop the current from running 12 volts into the output side of the reg. Pic below So now that you have it all wired up here is what the running lamp will look like. pic below Now for the "Brake lamp". One pic is garage lights off and the other is on. All of my wiring is just roughed in. So that bird nest of wires is just temporary. Parts list: Lights: Beehive markerlights. 2 for $6.38 @ Advanced Auto Voltage regulator: PN:LM7809C. $.70 Diodes: IN4001 50V-1A $1or$2 for both cant remember. Wire: Scabbed from an old wiring harness FREE! Personally i would just skip radio shack and just order from here. http://www.digikey.com/. So there you go for under $10 you got your own custom taillights for your project.

Was going to do a write up on how to turn a single filament bulb into a running/stop lamp. I have pics and just finished. All can be done for less than 10 bucks!
