Re: Any Auto Electricians on here, Help needed.

Need a bit of help, I'm thinking of building a custom headlight for my winter project FireStorm, no point going into great detail at this point, but basically my idea is to fit 2 small headlights which will have H4 12v 60/55w bulbs in them, can I just wire these straight into the existing headlamp ...

Renthal sprocket 41t

Looks to be in good condition with not much wear. Standard 41 tooth 530 pitch. I was going to keep it but will go 520 when I replace my current sprockets.

Re: How many bikes have you got ?

One running Storm and a bunch of bits.

If Al's allowed non-powered two-wheelers then I can add a GT Grade 105 carbon as my commuter; an MSC Koncept Catal XC race bike, not that I race XC; Cannodale Jekyll as the weekend play thing.

Re: Tire temperature sensor DIY with Arduino

Nice one pal. I've got a spare RPi lying around and I’ve been thinking I could use it as a GPS recorder on the track. I've found various articles using external GPS receivers and the Pi and they all look pretty simple. The main problem is regulating the power supply so it doesn't fry the Pi. That an...

Re: Project Varatrackerstorm or Firetrackerdero.

Lookin' sweet. Dare I say the swingarm is now looking a bit poor second cousin? Any plans for trying it into the rest of the build?

Re: Kit bike?

I think CRK have been doing it better for longer.

There Triumph 900 based kit looks much nicer.

Re: Brake Caliper Upgrade

Your SP2 MC is an option Tony but I'm not struggling with braking at the moment so I think I'll leave this upgrade until next year.

Has anyone tried SV1000 calipers? They look like the same piston diameters as the CBR/SP ones but look like they won't need the grinding to make them fit.

Re: Carmanbikes

Thanks for the disc mate. It was perfect for a rather damp Oulton Park this week.

StormyRob got free pistons because of you - spreading the love.
